<br/>The idea is to host events that support philosophical and humanistic thinking, give rooms for discussions and broaden the student's horizons. Topics that can be discussed are for example movies, latest geopolitical/economic development, books or ethic questions. Due to different settings the necessary support to develop these skills outside the lectures. Students should be encouraged to share their opinions, learn to build arguments and to understand different perspectives and viewpoints. Resources needed are: rooms, marketing tools and motivated, passionate students.
=== Internationalization - Working together projects as part of lectures with global partners partner universities ===
'''(Alexander Bendl, Eva-Maria Kremser)'''
The ability of working in an international context is very popular when it comes to recruiting. Not anybody has to chance to gain this experience in their job so we thought it would be beneficial to all to implement this to the lectures. The concept is to work together with partner universities in certain lectures. One example is to work out a project in a lecture each organisation individually and then challenge each other in a contest or interacting with each other in a video conference. This concept of having a project as a part of lectures with partner universities can be implemented so several different lectures in all studies. It is beneficial to foster partnerships and students can gain experience of international working contexts.

=== '''Pop-up learning lecture (PULL) '''<br/> ===
'''(Patrick Schmid)'''[[File:Postits.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Postits.jpg]]
The idea of PULLs is, that every student can hold an open lecture about a topic he is interested or passionate about. All studies are invited to join or participate. The whole idea is, that everyone can join the discussion.
=== '''X-treme Class '''<br/> ===
'''(Vanessa Radunz) '''[[File:BildX-tremeClass.JPG|thumb|left|200px|BildX-tremeClass.JPG]]
The X-Treme class is based on the idea of combining different people to investigate a particular task. In order to achieve the best possible solution, recent statistics have shown that collaboration between experts from different disciplines is the best and most effective way. Students should be encouraged to share their knowledge with other students and develop a product together. A teacher/professor is needed who is in charge of the whole project and especially someone who can put himself in the shoes of any team and motivate them if they move in the wrong direction.
=== '''Mentoring '''<br/> ===
'''(Lara Goritschnig) '''[[File:Mentoring.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Mentoring.jpg]]
The plan is to offer a mentoring program at the FH Salzburg. Higher-up students have to attend a course to become mentors and they will receive a certificate or a recommendation afterwards. The intention is to encourage the students to connect with people from other departments and to make it easier for freshmen to get advices and tipps.
