Build skills through EPICUR activities!
Want to improve your skills and make a difference in society? All of the EPICUR Entrepreneurship and Employability (E&E) activities are here to help.
The different E&E activities available are based on the Common Competence Framework specifically designed to make sure that you build up the key skills that make a difference in your future: Curiosity, Critical thinking, Consideration, Creativity, Communication, Collaboration, Cultural Awareness, and Construction. These will support your academic subject knowledge and hard skills and make your competences future-proof.
The way it works is that we design our joint activities with a couple of things in mind:
1. You are bringing both your “basic” skills (reading, writing, languages, etc.) and your academic subject knowledge to the table.
2. We build an activity with the focus on the “8 Cs” – Curiosity, Critical thinking , Consideration, Creativity , Communication , Collaboration, Cultural Awareness, and Construction. You can be sure that at least one of those “Cs” will be at the core of a specific EPICUR activity.
3. We include the focus on adaptability and flexibility in all of our courses, since these skills are the ones most in demand throughout the EPICUR regions.
4. You get a better awareness and understanding of your skills.
5. You improve the ways that you engage with and contribute to society – preparing you for the world after your studies!
