‘How to Navigate Through Unfamiliar Contexts’ is a RUN-EU Short Advanced Programme (SAP) jointly coordinated by the Häme University of Applied Sciences (HAMK), Polytechnic of Leiria (IPL), NHL Stenden University of Applied Sciences (NHL Stenden), Vorarlberg University of Applied Sciences (FHV) and the Technological University of the Shannon: Midlands Midwest (TUS).
To face the challenges demanded by a changing and uncertain world, you’ll need many more skills than those you get from your degree. These kinds of skills are called generic competencies or future skills. They include, for example, collaborating with others, problem-solving, flexibility, and taking responsibility. Plus, balancing contradictory demands requires empathy, compassion and respect towards yourself and others.
Understanding how to learn in a self-directed manner and reflecting on your development are two essential skills that will play an increasingly important role in the future of work. Developing future skills will raise your employability prospects, and most importantly, they will enhance your – and your peers’ – well-being.
This SAP aims to make students aware of the importance of future skills and encourage them to set goals for developing them.
