🌍 International opportunities for students than

🌍 International opportunities for students thanks to #EUCONEXUS! On Wednesday, EU-CONEXUS students and staff joined the #InternationalDay organised by the #RostockInternationalHouse of the University of Rostock. International Day, the OUTGOING fair for students, offers talks, info booths, workshops and the “Café International”, a space for students to interact with coffee and delicious homemade cakes! 😋

During the EU-CONEXUS presentation, we were able to share insights into

💡 the unique way of studying and carrying out research through institutional alignment and

💡 the seamless mobility options for all offered by the alliance.

Questions were answered on how to fit in EU-CONEXUS with regular study programs or use it to prepare for a longer stay abroad. 🤓

🙌 It was great to witness the keen interest and participation from the students, who are eager to explore new opportunities for studying and research on a European scale.

🙏 Thank you to all who attended and showed enthusiasm for driving sustainable advancements together. And a big thank you to the team from the Rostock International House for organising the event!

👨‍💼During the 2nd Student Ambassadors Trai

👨‍💼During the 2nd Student Ambassadors Training, participants learned from esteemed speakers: Dr. Rebecca Power from @setuireland , Dr. Antonis Vlassopoulos from @agricultural_university_athens , and Toula Dimitropoulou from @frederick_university .

Together, they gleaned valuable insights, including:

✅How to sign up for JobTeaser to access helpful resources for their career journey and explore European job and internship opportunities;
✅Understanding that recruiters and HR professionals spend a mere 11 seconds or less scanning a CV, they’ve learned the importance of having a peer review their CV for spelling and grammar errors;
✅Emphasizing the significance of personal values and identifying one’s unique selling point, they’ve realized that every job entails transferable skills, prompting them to discover and highlight their own.

Joining the EU-CONEXUS Student Ambassadors is a great way of developing skills and applying insights from your course to real-world situations! 🤓

Our colleagues from Universitatea Tehnica de Constructii Bucuresti - UTCB were delighted to introduce the pupils and students visiting them during their trademark event - ConstructFEST, the largest European construction fair - to the professional and international development opportunities they can access at @utcbro !

In two special sessions, they learned valuable information about:
✔️ #EUCONEXUS
✔️ Erasmus+ mobilities
✔️ CCOC - UTCB Career Counseling and Guidance Center
✔️ French Lectorate

At this year’s edition, the EU-CONEXUS Career Guidance and Counseling Center organized online “Meet International Companies at ConstructFEST”, where 20 students from 3 universities participated, and EU-CONEXUS Student Ambassadors in UTCB interacted at the Alliance stand with the 1,500 pupils who attended the Educational Fair, an activity under the auspices of the EU-CONEXUS University to School Program and ConstructFEST.

Also, the Open Days for All/Sport Handicap Inclusive Experience event was organized with the aim of supporting the participation and access of students with disabilities to the educational process and of emphasizing the values of inclusion and acceptance of diversity in the academic and professional environment.

Through interactive activities, sports and visits to the stands of the participating companies, students from 6 EU-CONEXUS partner universities and students with disabilities from two high schools were encouraged to collaborate despite their differences, thus strengthening a more open and inclusive educational, professional environment.

Every year this contest boosts the cooperation among local EU-CONEXUS universities and partner schools.

The 4th edition of our contest continued to shed a light on the crucial importance our coastal areas play for the balance of the coastal ecosystem. As they have long been considered ideal locations for human settlements, the increasing demand for natural resources and services has led to significant environmental challenges. This is why it is crucial that we take the necessary steps to protect these fragile ecosystems and mitigate the impacts of climate change to ensure the long-term sustainability of our coastal communities.

Therefore, we challenged pupils aged 12-15 to raise awareness about #sustainability, #circulareconomy, green and technologically #intelligentenvironments, and #smartcities and pupils aged 15-18 to think critically and creatively about #sustainabledevelopment, circular economy, and smart city technologies.

Congrats to all teams who made it in the 25th of April International Final of the Contest!👏
