THURSDSAY 5 SEPTEMBER – VIALE ROMANIA CAMPUS

LUISS LIFE DESIGN

This activity aims to break the ice and give life to moments of socialization, inclusion, and learning. It demonstrates how fun and enthusiasm can be effective tools for conveying important messages.

The session will address various themes such as self-support, self-enhancement, creativity, curiosity, and kindness in an interactive manner. The session will conclude with a final summarizing moment called ‘BELIever’ (Best Life Ever), which will provide participants with tools and advice to navigate university life and beyond.

The session will be led by professional actors from the Lykan group, who will share important and successful stories from companies such as Olivetti, Google, and many others!

PROGRAM WELCOME TALK AND MEET THE FACULTY

Join us for a Plenary Session where you will meet Professor Paolo Spagnoletti, the Director of the Degree Program, along with Ivana Piu, Program Manager, and lecturer Maria Federica Izzo (Business Administration). They will provide an in-depth presentation of the Degree Programme, covering its contents, organisation, and rules. Also participating in the Welcome Talk is Angela Sansone, Head of Marketing at Unobravo, and a member of the Steering Committee. The meeting will conclude with a brief discussion on the career prospects and professional opportunities associated with your academic journey.

 

MEET YOUR TUTOR

The tutor plays a key role in guiding students throughout their academic journey, supporting them make important decisions. In this interactive session, the Degree Course tutors will present the Tutoring Service and explain how the University works, including its educational model. This will offer an immediate overview of the main opportunities and services the University offers, and there will be time to allow participants to ask questions and clear up any doubts they may have.

GENERATIVE AI: INNOVATION AND RESPONSIBLE USE

A meeting dedicated to generative AI tools to promote their responsible use that integrates with new learning methods. The functioning, opportunities, and dangers of generative AI management techniques will be explored through examples and practical applications of software such as ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Mistral AI, Dall-E, Midjourney, Sora, and Suno.

It will focus on the risks associated with the use of this technology, such as the dissemination of misinformation, privacy issues, ethical issues, accountability of automated decisions, and the social impact from the failure to train cognitive skills and potential unemployment.

STUDY METHODS: TIPS AND TRICKS

A meeting on study methods to discover how best to approach and organise university studies. The activity will focus on 3 main themes:

  1. Learning Study. Exploring the learning and study methods, emphasising the importance of ‘flexibility’ – being able to change the approach if the method adopted does not bring the desired results.
  2. Time Design. Advice on how to organise your study time – how many hours and pages to study and how to balance your day between study and free-time. Practical exercises to develop a personal time management table.
  3. Self-support and Peer Support. Learning how to ask for help when you feel in trouble and how to support your peers.

The session will be led by professional actors from the Lykan group, who will recite a decalogue entitled, “What Not to Do to Live a Happy Life.” The decalogue is built on opposites, and the play, combined with the actors’ interpretation, is meant to prompt reflection on the opposite meaning of what is being said.

At the end of the session, it will be possible to download a summary of the Tips and Tricks presented using a QR code. The document will also include links to online resources, such as apps for planning and monitoring time, podcasts, and websites etc.
