Description of the practice
The university space is a place where theory should meet practice. Such a connection is possible, for example, by involving the academic community in the co-organisation of events. The activity can take the form of volunteering, an internship or be billed as a subject. Regardless of the formal side, the people involved learn planning, management, teamwork, effective communication, responsibility, etc. One example is the Culture and Media Festival Polikultura.
Key elements of practice
1. Creation of a formal and legal space on the academic side.
2. Involvement of the academic community (teaching staff and students) in the organisation of the event.
3. Openness to ideas, creativity and out-of-the-box solutions – willingness to listen to the voice of students.
4. Combining theory and practice, ‘hard’ and ‘soft’ skills.
