NO EUROPE FOR THE YOUNG?

CAREER DAY

PANELS & SCHEDULE ➞

CAREER DAY REGISTRATION ➞

The career day is an indispensable part of the IP Programme and aims to bring EuCu students closer to what the life will be like post-Euroculture. Since having a sound notion of the profession is one of the preconditions to choose a good placement and later on job, the overall goal of this day’s programme is to familiarize students with a diversity of professions which Euroculture alumni may head for, and thus to help them overcome the gap between theory and practice, between classroom and work life. The interaction with other students within the consortium is furthermore essential in order to allow for streamlining interests, motivations and goals.

Our alumni, professionals in various fields will share with students their work experience:

  • What is the work in the specific field about and what employees are needed and welcome?
  • What competences and personal characteristics are required for the respective kind of job?
  • How to choose a suitable job for you?
  • How to use effectively the acquired theoretical knowledge?
  • How to make use of the international experience obtained during the Euroculture studies?
  • What you are never told in a classroom?
CAREER DAY REGISTRATION ➞

This year, the IP coordinators in Krakow have joined forces with the Euroculturer social media team, a student- run project of the Euroculture programme, to bring together students, alumni, and dynamic experts in different professional fields to design and deliver the Career Day. During the programme, we will organize 4 different panels, each related to a specific sector of work. Our guests – professionals in various fields and many Eurouculture alumni amongst them –  will share with students their work experience and personal trajectories during 3 rounds of panel sessions. In this way, every student can take part in three different panels out of the four.

Each panel is made up of 4 people and is moderated by a member of the social media team of the Euroculturer Magazine or 2nd year Euroculture student.

There are 3 ‘timeslots’ for the sessions, and each timeslot will be for a different group of students (approx. 20 students per timeslot). That means that the panel will ‘run’ 3 times for 3 different groups of students.

Here you can view a full description for each of the Career Day panels along with the panelists:
  • Panel 1: Civil Society & International Cooperation (room 2.04)
  • Panel 2: Government & Governance (room 2.10)
  • Panel 3: Culture, Media & Communication (room 2.15)
  • Panel 4: Academia & Research (room 3.04)
