First Stage

The first stage of the competition will be conducted online. We will prepare a multiple choice test and send it to the registered teams (each consisting of about 5 people). They will have a week to send back their answers via online Microsoft Forms formular. The tasks will be challenging and prompting the students to seek information from various sources and deepen their knowledge. The test will be prepared by our central merythorics commission in English and translated into 4 languages, one for every partner country. To ensure the correctness of the translation we will include our partners in the translation process, which will be conducted in tight cooperation with the central merythorics commission.. After the deadline for the submission of the answers, they will be checked and the best 5 teams from each region (13 regions. 5 in Poland, 3 in Czechia, 2 in Slovakia, and 3 in Hungary) will be qualified for the next stage of the competition. Moreover, to broaden the impact of the HSBC initiative and spread the entrepreneurial attitudes among the biggest amount of highschoolers, we will organize online workshops with business topics in each V4 country for everyone who has registered in the competition. The workshops will be conducted during the online stage, before the deadline for submitting the answers. https://businessismore.eu/

Online Training on Human Library Methodology

Online training on Human Library will be implemented through 4 online sessions that will run for 2 working days (3 sessions per day, 6 hours of working time plus break time) during the period of 2 weeks and FB group. The training will combine online sessions that will run on the platform ZOOM with support in the form of Questions & Answers sessions on the FB group. We decided to combine online training with the elements of ZOOM and FB support group because we aim to offer our participants flexibility and moreover, our experience says that many times the participants need to consult issues, the information given with their organizations and in this case, we might follow on the process. https://bridgingcommunities.tumblr.com/
