<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Varna Free University „Chernorizets Hrabar“ is the biggest and most acknowledged private university in Bulgaria. Created in 1991, it is an educational brand which has earned not only the trust of its students but also that of its numerous academic partners worldwide.</font>
 
<font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">The university offers many opportunities for its students, some of them regarding innovation and enterpreneurship. Over the last few years, more and more programs, hackathons, courses, seminars, etc. are happening in the university, gathering students from different faculties and expanding their knowledge on different aspects. For example</font><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">, new Master's programs are being created on up-to-date topics, e.g. Data Science, Enterpreneurship, etc. This way the university's students can be well informed on subjects, which are needed by companies from all over the world.</span>
 
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">The university offers work opportunities as well, helping students find the job of their dreams, and even being able to study and work at the same time. It teams up with companies from Varna in order to improve not only the student's practical knowledge but also his/her work experience and prepare him for the ''real world'', making the transfer from univerisity to work easier for him/her to make.</span>

== <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">'''Developed by''By: Asya Mincheva'''''</span></span><br/> == <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The idea of the '''''Students' talk'''&nbsp;''is to help one student get to know more about what the others in university do and learn from them.</span></span><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">A student will basically tell the story of his/her life - what are his/her successes until now, what is his major / occupation / intersts, hobbies / advices from personal experience / what makes him/her happy / what motivates him/her to move forward and succeed in life / passions.</span></span><br/> </div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The public could engage in the talk - ask questions, have dialogues with the specific student.</span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The event will be held at least once a month, depending on the interest and availability of the students - potentially - 2 to 3 times per month. Each talk will take about an hour. If needed, the time could always be expanded.</span></span><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The students talking could be selected based on polls with student votes, or when a specific student wants to present himself/herself.</span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I truly believe that an event like this could bring closer the students from different faculties, help them broaden their horizons, expand their point of view, get to know more about the other students in the university and last but not least - make them more innovative and creative not just for a specific topic - but for their whole life in general. In my opinion, the '''''Students' talk&nbsp;'''''would be a life changer for many students because it would inspire them to change their life for the better in an innovative manner.</span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>= '''Project Idea 2: ''Coffee with a professor''''' = == <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">'''''By: Antonio Tonchev'''''</span></span> ==<div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The idea of '''''Coffee with a professor''''' is to establish a connection between the professors and students, as well as to inspire them.</span></span>   <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Both parties will meet in the cafeteria, at around 13:00/14:00 o’clock. They will grab a cup of coffee and even lunch if they feel like it. The professors can clear up any questions the students have and give them advice be it for university or life lessons in general.</span></span> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The event will be held two to three times a week, every week. The students that participate are going to be chosen at random by us. The duration of the event will be around 30-45 minutes. Funds required for the event will be sourced from the SG or University Administration.</span></span> <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I honestly believe that such an event will be especially helpful for the freshmen at university by inspiring them and giving them advice. It can also diversify their viewpoints about the different events happening all around campus. It will make them feel valued and give them the ability to establish a professional relationship that may be of help in the future.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The space's walls will have photos of students and their successful stories, written in about a paragraph or so. This will drastically boost their motivation - seeing what others are doing, what are his/her successes until now, what is his major / occupation / intersts, hobbies / advices from personal experience / what makes him/her happy / what motivates him/her to move forward and succeed in life / passions. The main idea behind that is to be as short and easy to read as possible, to catch the student's attention, to '''''make others look good''''', to inspire him/her to follow their passion, pursue him/her dreams, etc. The&nbsp;'''''Motivation & Creativity space'''&nbsp;''will be equipped with basic prototyping materials, e.g. paper, clippers, etc. and furniture where the students can work on their ideas, etc. &nbsp;</span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The space will be available for the students at any time they will need it.</span></span><br/></div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The info used in the space for the students will be gathered via the university social medias.</span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">I truly believe that an event like this could bring closer the students from different faculties, help them broaden their horizons, expand their point of view, get to know more about the other students in the university and last but not least - make them more innovative and creative not just for a specific topic - but for their whole life in general. Moreover, this space is different than the basic innovation spaces nad that is what makes it unique than all the other ones in different universities all over the world.</span></span></div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>= '''Project Idea 3: ''Idea box''''' =<div>== <span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">'''''By: Gergana Stefanova'''''</span></span> == <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">FLASH IDEAS ZONE = FLASH IDEA BLACKBOARD = IDEA BOX = UNIVERSITY BRAINSTORMING IDEA - WHY - HOW TO DO - HOW MUCH - WHEN WILL GET THE RESULTS</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">1. THE IDEA: The main idea of the project is to create an interesting and easily accessible space for students and teachers to present their flash ideas and thoughts impulsively and if you prefer anonymously. All students, professors and administration should have easy access to Flash Zone ideas. It would be important to give a topic each week to induce and ask for opinions, ideas and suggestions.</span>
The idea of the '''''Students' talk'''&nbsp;''<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pxmedium;">is to help one student get to know more about what the others in university do and learn from them2.</span><div><br/></div><div>A student will basically tell the story of his/her life WHY? – Non- what are his/her successes until nowmotivating environment Some summarize it like this: "I get bored, what is his major / occupation / intersts, hobbies / advices from personal experience / what makes him/her happy / what motivates him/her to move forward and succeed in life / passionsnothing awakens my interest".<br/></div><div><br/></div><div>The public could engage in the talk - ask questionsHowever, have dialogues with the specific there is something more important behind that lack of studentcommitment.</div><div><br/></div><div>The event will be held at least once Internally, we found a month, depending on the interest and availability feeling of the students - potentially - 2 to 3 times per monthdemotivation as their learning environment that "did not provide an innate motivation". Each talk will take about On an hour. If needed, external level we concluded that the time could always be expanded.<br/></div><div><br/></div><div>The students talking could be selected based on polls with student votes, or when felt that there was a specific student wants to present himself/herself.</div><div><br/></div><div>I truly believe that an event like this could bring closer the lack of collaboration between students from different facultiesand teachers, help them broaden their horizons, expand their point with the absence of view, get to know more about the other students in the university and last but not least - make them more innovative social signals and creative not just for a specific topic - but for their whole life in generalhigh fear of isolation. In my opinionTherefore, the '''''Students' talk&nbsp;'''''would be a life changer for many students because it would inspire them those feelings are important to change their life for the better in an innovative mannerdetect.</divspan>
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Brainstorming is a technique in which a specific topic is established and greatest possible number of ideas are contributed in a given time frame. In this scenario of creativity all provided ideas have the same value and are interest. The environment is informal, relaxed and open for inspiration to flow freely and everyone is encouraged to participate regardless of the nature of their idea. Is a technique that is usually used to confront a problem and find a solution using together the ideas of all members of the university and creating an atmosphere of union and cooperation, which is beneficial for the environment of Varna Free university .</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">HOW WE DO IT: We need boards and Post-it Notes of colors where each one can write down their thought or flash idea and paste it to the table so it can be read by everybody. Should have boards in all common areas of the university</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">1. (1) in the main room of the Varna Free University,</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">2. (1) in the cafeteria of the university</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">3. (1) for each hall on each floor of the university</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">4. (1) the Technological Institute of the university.</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">THE RESULTS WE SEEK AND EXPECT:</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">1. To make students and teachers feel that we want to hear their thoughts, ideas, and suggestions about important topics of life, studies, improvements in the university, etc.</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">2. We will start as a easy personal conversation, with themes of interest focused on the people like "Hello, who are you, where are you from?" - it has to start as a game, to get to know each other, to make everyone known - students and teachers with the "Zones of Flash ideas".</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Other starting themes: When was the last time you laughed until you couldn´t anymore? What is your favorite emoji, the one you constantly use in your chats? What is it that makes you happy in your life? What are your plans for the following weeks? What was the last thing that surprised you? Do you have any anecdote? What would you do if a ..................... occurred at this time?</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">LATER WE COULD DIRECT THE TOPICS TO A HIGHER LEVEL, alternating with funny topics so as not to create boredom. With this idea we will be able to reunite the University society in a impulsive way without effort, making the students and professors approach by their own will and expose their thoughts without pressure, leaving their will and their mind free to share with others.</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">Discovering from the "FLASH IDEAS ZONES" that have more people with similar interests, desires and goals we can and will find in the University. The University society will share more their deepest thoughts, look for these other people and work together to expand and improve their knowledge, skills, ideas and goals inside in a Varna Free University.</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">COST AND INVESTMENT: The realization of everything should not exceed 2000 BGN.</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;">BENEFITS: Friendly and united University environment and endless innovative ideas.</span> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: medium;"></span></div>= '''Project Idea 14: ''Motivation & Creativity space''''' = <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">The idea of the ''''Students' talkMotivation & Creativity space'''&nbsp;'' =is to offer a place for the students to get inspiration from the others and improve their creativity, innovation and enterpreneurship skills.</span></span>
