Creation of Socio-Civic Learning Experiences

Having in mind the aim of the project – to find innovative solutions within the circular and socio-
civic framework – we suggest a debate/round table addressing a homogeneous group of experts

and the students and aiming at thinking about solutions for specific challenges.

Opportunities, real-life experiences, trainings, workshops + scholarships, study commemorative medals and awards

General format:

1

When invited to be part of the audience, it is important to realize that webinars have a participation
rationale, which means that you are invited to speak at the specific time. The facilitators present
will serve this purpose.
To the invited keynotes, we ask that your intervention be weighted according to the entities you
represent and refer to their relationship with circularity. Each keynote will be given a 10 minutes
to explain his or her views on this topic, and then a few moments in the debate.

This project commits to empower new generations of professionals working in a circular transition with a socio-civic compromise. To that end, we establish the Circular & SOC Learning (CIRC.LE) Hub; a meeting point for students, professors, transdisciplinary experts, society at large, and decision-makers, working together with a circular and sociocivic compromise. In the Circular & SOC Learning Hub, students reflect on challenges by evaluating social and civic implications and become co-creators and active part of the challenge. This humanizing approach is here considered as the perfect complement to the technical skills for a true application of circularity principles. The CIRC.LE Hub creates a multi-stakeholder, participatory, democratic mutual learning and knowledge transfer platform and puts on the table complex dilemmas and “out of the box” ideas for students’ social and civic development and promoting local action and global thinking. This contributes to boosting the concept of the European Engineer. The pilot Circular & SOC Learning Hub will be promoted by the participating Universities and Associated Partners and then grow beyond this partnership.
