How to Navigate through Unfamiliar Contexts: Develop your Skills for the Future is a RUN-EU Short Advanced Programme (SAP), jointly coordinated by HAMK, PLeiria, NHL Stenden, FHV and LIT.
To face the challenges demanded by a changing and uncertain world, we need a variety of skills to navigate through unfamiliar contexts. These kinds of skills are called generic competences or future skills. These skills include for example collaborating with others, problem solving, flexibility, and taking responsibility. Also, balancing with contradictory demands require empathy, compassion and respect towards oneself and others.
Moreover, skills to learn in a self-directed manner and reflecting on own development play an increasingly important role in the future of work. Overall, future skills are important for employability and success in the world of work and most importantly, they have the potential to enhance individual and collective wellbeing.
The aim of the SAP is that the participants recognise the importance of future skills and set goals for developing their own future skills.
