One day with GAZE

Tuesday, the 11th of may we had an event outside of school. We went to participate in a project. The organizator of this project was GAZE. GAZE is a project dedicated to promote the sense of initiative of young people from different centres of high education of Gipuzkoa. The aim of the project was to prepare students for real life business situations. We were supposed to solve some problems of different companies.
The event started at 9:30 with Jose Ramón Guridi's presentation. He is the deputy of Innovation and knowledge society. GAZE explained what is the aim of the project and at the end of the presentation two teachers from “Mondragon Unibertsitatea” explained what we were going to do during the day.
To start with, we were divided into three groups of approximately 40 people. We were in three different rooms with different organizations, such as Emaus, Iriscom, Urretxu's city hall and some people from travel agency. Then, we were participating in a “Check In” method to get to know each other better.
The companies presented us real problems. We were given some time for think about the solution and make our presentation. We think that the experience we've got there will help us in our future work.
It was very interesting to take part in this project. We spent very good time.

Thank you GAZE!

The WISHES Networking Days

They are an effective networking event to promote and engage within a high potential network and thus offer an effective way to sustainably initiate new co-operations in European funding schemes – sustainably realizing networking potentials.

Based on the individual and institutional offerings and desires as submitted upon registration the WISHES IT based matching application will automatically match and recommend high potential cooperating partners towards each other. This virtual matching enables the conference participants to effectively single out and identify high potential cooperating partners long before meeting them onsite. Thus, potentially interesting cooperating partners will be identified prior to the conference, resulting in the possibilities to prepare potential face-to-face meetings onsite in due time. Thus, these IT based pre-conference activities ensure a successful conference participation – even before arrival!

Return from the traffic jam

After 6 days of air chaos, all the airports are open again.

There aren't any cancelled flights!!

This volcano has had all of people from Europe unable to fly. This has provoked that many people had to "search for life" to return home.

Searching the internet we had found a funny story of how a student arrived home (spanish version):

Assignment 5

Today, our english assistant, Michael, finally gave us the marks of our last assignment. The assignment was about the exchange rate. We were working in pairs and each team was given a different country.

We were investigating the exchange rate of the countries and how they were affected by the financial crisis.

This work was quite hard because we have never been studying economy so closely. Thanks to our hard work and patient we have made a good report!
