Summer course 2019
Summer course 2019
In August 2019, we kicked off the inaugural edition Careers in the Common Good with the Summer Course. Through workshops on sustainability, human rights, and social entrepreneurship, nine young adults from six countries explored some of the many ways in which they can make a difference.
Participants heard personal career trajectories and struggles from young professionals across widely divergent industries, and they spent daily dedicated time on self-reflection. Between workshops, the group explored Budapest, cooked up a steaming vat of barszcz, and hiked deep into the Pilis forest. Participants also developed practical projects ranging from Internet literacy courses to implement in Serbia and the Czech Republic to a multilingual blog dedicated to making education information accessible.
Youth Week is an annual event—details about Youth Week 2021 can be found here.
2019 Social Project
2019 Social Project
As part of the Summer Course, our 2019 participants worked on:
An Internet literacy workshop designed for new mothers eager to reenter the workforce. Aimed at SDG 16, the workshop informs people of different ages about digital media literacy, especially critical and analytical reading.
An Internet literacy workshop for Czech high school students. Targeting SDG 16, the workshop emphasises media literacy and Czech identity as EU citizens.
A healthy food in hospital initiative. Aimed at SDG 3, this project raises awareness of dietary needs in Polish hospitals and promotes the idea that food should be part of one's treatment.
A multi-lingual blog on careers and education. Focussed on SDG 4 and SDG 10, this blog creates a platform to connect and motivate youth from different backgrounds, to exchange knowledge and to establish a support network.
A bike-sharing project in Kosovo. With an eye to SDG 13, this project aims to reduce car usage and improve health and the environment in the region.
