02
Participation in the MICENE Coaching sessions articulated in a circular flow of inspiration, activation and reflection aim to provide attendees with the necessary competences to act as agents of change in the MICE sector thanks to:
- Inspirational session: participants will be inspired towards greater sustainability through digital technologies with the presentation of case studies, success stories, testimonials.
- Activation session: participants will learn by doing: they will work on concrete behaviours and tackle real or realistic organisational sustainability challenges. Taking the lead, they will conduct an as-is/to-be analysis to identify and develop digital and sustainable case studies within the corporate context.
- Reflection session: participants will use the Journaling process, which is a reflective practice where they regularly record their thoughts, experiences, learning progress, and emotions related to their academic work in a structured or semi-structured format. It encourages students to consider what they have learned, the challenges faced, solutions found, and how their learning applies to real-life contexts.
The call is open to university students in Faculties of Economics and Management in Italy, Spain, Slovenia and Lithuania who:
- have limited knowledge of environmental issues that are not adequately addressed in their study programmes;
- while generally IT-literate, struggle to use advanced technologies that are now crucial to the organisation and management of MICE events.
Registration is open from 01/08/2025 to 01/10/2025.
Applicants will be informed by e-mail about selection results in 7 days after the call is closed.
The selected applicants will be given access to the e-learning platform, containing the OERs and the additional tools. The application form must be completed online at the following link
The training will be completely free and carried out in blended mode.
