Developing the Entrepreneurial Spirit at the Heart of EUPeace: Creativity at the Service of Societal Projects (under construction)

Learning objectives and brief outline

Abstract

Teamwork, digitalization, well-being in the workplace, the ability to “switch” from one project to another, to take on multiple assignments - these are the motivations of today's generation of students.

The learning module proposes to deploy pedagogical tools in line with these generational motivations, with a focus on the tools of the entrepreneurial approach. The aim is to enable students to develop projects using collective intelligence, i.e. building formats that enable as many people as possible to work together, whatever their academic background, whatever their level of study, whatever the culture to which they belong.

Essentially, it's a methodological resource offering innovative project management tools adapted to the values of the EUPeace project, which will enable students to create, invent and carry out projects, and in so doing, become even more active players in their university life. Interculturality, within the framework of a collective intelligence approach, becomes, if the tools are adapted, a real force for developing ideation, structuring and implementing projects anchored.

Learning objectives

  • Collective intelligence for societal projects: theoretical framework.
  • Becoming a facilitator: roles and postures.
  • Leading a creativity protocol: from needs identification to the final deliverable.
