  • IMPROVING EMPLOYABILITY AND LABOUR INSERTION OF YOUNG PEOPLE AS A STRATEGY FOR TALENT RETENTION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CITY

    Employability and labour insertion of young people is a critical issue in the current socio-economic scenario. This is the reason why public authorities and institutions have to play an important role and not to avoid the responsibility they have with society. In this sense, the education system in general and the University system in particular are called to play a key role in order to achieve this objective. However, they have also to consider the “alma mater” character of the University in the sense that its role is to engender and change people through science and knowledge and train free citizens with democratic convictions, critical thinking and ethical commitment. We also have to bear in mind that the mission of the University is to train students in those skills and competences demanded by employers, thus contributing to the socio-economic development of the area.

  • Teach the Kids Coding!

    Over six weeks this spring some of the young minds of Kristiansand have gotten an exciting introduction into the inner workings of the digital world when Lær Kidsa Koding (Teach the kids coding!) returned to Kristiansand public library this February. More than 20 children between the ages of 8 and 12 came by to join in on some fun and interactive tasks, including making games and programming LEGO robots.
