ifempower Winter/Spring Schools
|
|
|
|
|
Two international intensive study programmes (winter/spring schools) will be held within ifempower project for selected students who accomplished the ifempower courses in the partner universities.
The students will receive:
- in-depth training for the launching of their own entrepreneurial initiatives;
- additional skills on how to sell their idea and attract investors;
- ECTS for attending the training program.
The Winter and Spring Schools will rely on the toolkit of Design Thinking, a user-centric approach used for practical and creative problem-solving. Instead of the teaching material or the problem, it focuses on humans, seeking to understand people’s needs and come up with effective solutions to meet those needs.
The schools will be in English.
When will the Winter/Spring Schools take place?
Online Winter School – 31/01/2021 – 06/02/2021
Online Spring School – 07/04/2021 – 13/04/2021
