Heydays’ Post

Data is strategic: the qualitative and quantitative data we collect is key but more important is how we design the information to connect it with the strategic targets and audiences. To reveal the hidden value buried in numbers, lists and acronyms contained in lots of Excel files, and decode them to make them meaningful, we first need a strategic vision: What is the value to communicate? What is the story we have to tell? Which is the most appropriate language to use to connect with the different audiences? And behind data, there are always people. And in this concrete case, the IdeaSquare Progress Report, data shows the work and daily effort of a passionate team of brave people challenging the established and looking for strategies to create a better future. 🌟 It’s been a privilege to make their work shine! 👇 Have a look at the link below to see the last IdeaSquare Progress Report 2021-2023, powered by wonnd strategy agency.

⭐️ We are proud to spotlight the team making ST4TE happen!   Today we are introducing Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) 🇬🇷 They are the project coordinator and responsible for several tasks that link the project results to policymaking such as the development of a twin transition index and the analysis of the territorial impact of the transitions.   🎯 𝗦𝗧𝟰𝗧𝗘 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁... in two ways: first, by understanding the two transitions and their combined effect on different European areas, it aims to promote territorial intelligence in regional policy making. Second, by understanding the inequalities created or widened among individuals due to the two transitions, it aims to support policies that build greener, more productive but also more inclusive societies. Follow us to stay updated on our progress and be a part of this journey! #ST4TE #TransitionPolicy #Inequalities #Research #Innovation #Collaboration

✔ International #BioBoosters project achieved the first pilot round with the great success of the companies and different stakeholders! 📃 Project manager Aalto Anna wrote an article to Jamk Arena about transferring BioBoosters Hackathon across the Baltic Sea Region – The Survivor Stories from the First Pilot Round! Jamk Arena gathers together articles with the expertise of JAMK University of Applied Sciences. The Hackathon challenge provider has a big opportunity to start a co-operation to the real need in our hackathons. "Based on the experience of the organizers, the most important factors in selecting and defining the challenges would be a real need as well as time and commitment from the challenge provider. This is the baseline that must be in place when starting the process." (Recorded focus group interview 24.1.2024.)

Excited to share a recent adventure from the heart of our mission at Labster As we gear up to empower millions of students worldwide, every step forward counts. Our current company step challenge on YuMuuv has been an invigorating reminder of the power of movement and exploration. Yesterday, our team in Copenhagen took learning immersion to the streets with a Mystery Makers Mystery Hunt through Kongens Have, one of the city's oldest and most historic gardens. Among spring blooming and stories centuries past, we heard captivating tales of Danish royalty, uncovering hidden scandals and statue treasures. Along the way, I even managed to update my Netflix list and we appointed the most "royal" of us all, Alex Masi Cantín! 🎬 In today's fast-paced world, it's crucial to prioritize both physical and mental wellbeing. Walking isn't just a means of exercise; it's a pathway to clarity, creativity, and connection. As I reflect on yesterday's adventure, I'm reminded of the great concepts shared by a former People leader Roxana Dobrescu: ETW - Eligible To Walk Meetings and No Meeting Thursdays. It's a philosophy that continues to resonate deeply, especially within our dynamic teams. A massive shoutout to everyone involved in orchestrating this unforgettable experience. (You can't spell Mopenhagen without Mo Daugaard Terstrup). Let's keep pushing boundaries, one step at a time, towards our shared vision of making a meaningful impact on education worldwide. Together, we're unstoppable! 👣 👣 #stem #education #learning #teambuilding #scienceeducation #scaleups

Today, I had the opportunity to discuss the importance of innovation for civil society organizations at a RedColaborar event, a knowledge-sharing network led by MAKAIA and supported by the Inter-American Foundation. TechSoup is a proud partner in this work. Fueled by the belief in a better world, civil society organizations strive for a future with inclusive education, a sustainable planet, and robust access to resources. But between us and that future lie challenges from the mundane, like time constraints to the malicious, like disinformation, to the societal, like the tensions and violence that can exist in our communities. RedColaborar highlights the power of collaboration to overcome these hurdles. By sharing innovative solutions across borders and issue areas, we can build upon each other's successes. Technology serves as a double-edged sword. It can accelerate both threats and learning. Thankfully, it also strengthens our ability to connect, share knowledge, and scale impactful solutions. I'm grateful for the chance to learn from and work alongside this incredible network. Together, we can harness innovation to build a more inclusive and sustainable future.
