ATHENA BIP in SOFT Skills (2024)

The ATHENA European University Alliance members continue their success story in organizing seminars and courses on employment-related topics. In collaboration with the University of Maribor (Slovenia) and Niccolo Cusano (Italy - ex-ATHENA member), Hellenic Mediterranean University has planned the 2nd round of soft skills-related topics. This happens in collaboration with other European Institutions: the University of Bielsko-Biala, the University of Applied Sciences in Tarnow (Poland), and the FONTYS University of Applied Sciences (Netherlands). We are delighted that Universities beyond Europe also participate in this series of seminars and recognize the importance of the topic: Holon Institute of Technology, Western Galilee College, Yezreel Valley College from Israel. 

The series of online lectures can be viewed below, as well as the lectures by the lecturers.  The online workshops can be found here: https://11iw.hmu.gr/athenasoft-blended-intensive-program/
