It became a tradition at ELTE Faculty of Informatics to organize an idea competition around the end of each semester's term period and let the most active students mingle from different courses and faculties. This time randomly distributed #diverse and #multidisciplinary student teams developed their #responsible #innovative #ideas to tackle the problems of #urban #spaces by proposing #green #digital and #inclusive solutions while also respecting #EU #values. As a takeaway, I wish to see these great ideas happen to enable living in more #liveable and #sustainable cities. With these uplifting ideas, we celebrated Hungary's 20 years in the EU and demonstrated how EU-funded and joint initiatives strengthened our #education. The first idea competition was organized as a live event of an #interdisciplinary and #interuniversity entrepreneurship course which was developed in a #HEI project of #EITDigital. Although the project ended, all the education elements are sustained and run at an advanced level. Special thanks to Zsuzsa Várhalmi, Linda Szántó, Dr., Katalin Nadasi, and Boglárka Mucsi for sharing their valuable remarks and suggestions with the teams. #20yearstogether #EU #highereducation #entrepreneurshipeducation #ELTE

Within the frame of my new job position as European Project Manager for EDUC-SHARE, I am currently participating in EDUC’s steering committee in Potsdam, Germany. EDUC, the European Digital UniverCity, is an alliance of 8 European universities developing a European-integrated university. It offers fascinating project management opportunities and challenges. With many internal stakeholders within your home university and the partner universities, how do you map the project across the different services of the alliance? How can you know your partner universities in-depth to engage with them smartly? How can you apply agile management in institutions? The alliance is developing new processes to address these challenges and is becoming an instrument for change with beautiful success stories to showcase. It is developing a new approach to mobility and taking university collaboration to a new level. I am looking forward to contributing to this European project! 😊 #universitycollaboration #EDUCAlliance

Why is teaching sustainability in art important? 🖼️     At OECON GROUP Bulgaria, one of our key objectives through the E-ART project is to develop a comprehensive curriculum focused on sustainable art practices. This curriculum will be freely available on the E-ART website for both teachers and learners. https://lnkd.in/dyCnAbef    But why is this important?   Making sustainable art relevant requires democratizing its techniques and spreading them to a wider audience. Engaging in creative activities not only enhances our mental and physical well-being but also teaches us essential skills like repairing, maintaining, and modifying our physical surroundings. These skills are crucial for building resilience and fostering stronger connections within our communities.     #EART #SustainableArt #ArtistsForEnvironment #OECONGroupBulgaria #sustainableart #ErasmusPlus #VET
