Young people learned about technologies, public speaking, teamwork, entrepreneurship, marketing, and artificial intelligence.
For the fifth year in a row, VERN' University was the academic partner of the summer school "Innovation Academy", which traditionally gathered a large number of high school students interested in developing and acquiring knowledge and skills that build relationships and careers in the 21st century at the end of August.
The program took place at VERN's premises from August 26th to 29th, and around a hundred young people participated in lectures and workshops where they learned about:
- technology, innovation and critical thinking (on the Future Skills module),
- active listening, public speaking and presentation skills (on the Master of Public Speaking module),
- emotional intelligence, goal setting and teamwork (on the Future Leader module),
- entrepreneurship, idea development and pitching skills (on the Future Entrepreneur module)
- digital marketing, social networks and advertising (on the Digital Skills module) and
- artificial intelligence, technology and AI practices (on the AI Whizz module).
Therefore, like every August, our spaces have become an intersection of knowledge, skills, youth, and ambition just before the start of exam periods.
