How to befriend UNCERTAINTY
European Launch of PUNC, Gdansk, May 23-24th
Oliva Campus, UG, Faculties of Languages, Social Sciences
“The key is not to predict the future
but to prepare for it”
PERICLES (500 BC)
Young Europeans face uncertainty on a daily basis and as a result some are becoming more critical about systemic dominance of certain reductionist and siloed ways of knowing. They actively search for experiential learning opportunities which will prepare them to deal with ultimately unresolvable challenges.
The EU Launch of PUNC will take the participants through the journey of the Erasmus Plus consortium R+D+I activities: validation of PUNCompetency, pilots of PUNCbox tools and analyses of students’ PUNC-portfolios. PUNCbox tools help the students develop the competency to handle uncertainty more productively and become more critical of power structures, turn their fears or biases into collaborative intent and increase the repertoire of responses to uncertainty using creativity, mutual support networks and compassion.
