Strategic priorities 2023
Strategy #1:
Strategy #2: Give university students tools to develop ideas by working with young people and children on the making of a project.
Project name:
Project leader: Lucía Fernández
Key tactics:
- Design the first part of the course by using the key points of the existing and functional programs "agents of change" and "innovation week" taught by our university and adapt them for this new course, interact with the directors of those programs to learn about their experience. The central guidelines should be: innovation, entrepreneurship, development of ideas, project management, leadership.
- For the second part of the course, design the little projects based on the careers that the university imparts, so students can choose those related to their owns if they want. By the way, they should be encouraged to improve those projects or sugest new ones. In this part working with directors of the different areas to choose some ideas for the little investigation is a must.
- In the future the idea is that the old participants take place as referents, imparting the course volunteering, but in the beginning we should form some references to start.
- Establish the characteristics of schools and high schools that we will ask to be involved.
- The main reason why students would not participate is because they do not have free time. Evaluate the possibility of designing the course so that a reasonable amount of time is invested but as limited as possible. It must be taken into account that correct development cannot be jeopardized by time reductions.
- Define the amount of credits that students will get as exchange for participating
- The objective of the course is not to strongly train the student in I&E, it is a kickstart to motivate them to continue with other more specific courses in the future.
