„Last Fisherman” is a movie about the intergenerational dialogue which builds a bridge between the Past and the Future
The movie is a reflection and celebration of one’s man life; a life that has impacted more than just a community, but the next generation. It provides a reminder that progress, industrialism and rapid change can have a harmful impact on industries, communities and individuals. Not to mention the legacy of our forefathers. Nevertheless, in the face of change there are individuals stout of heart who band together; they favor the old ways, celebrate hard graft and always do a ‘proper job’.

Revolution 4.0 is taking place before our very eyes. It changes our reality while giving both - new possibilities and challenges at the same moment. Virtual reality becomes a part of real world and the pace of change surprises us very often, even more - its direction is unpredictable. New situations require a new adaptive leadership which is the answer to our needs. Traditional DNA - very often based on power, technical knowledge and routine solutions - doesn’t work anymore. A DNA of adaptive leaders needs new competencies we need to practice. Adaptive leadership motivates people to act, changes hearts, mind, believes and habits and makes a real change. It also gives possibility to leaders to experience an exciting trip into the new. It is time to check your DNA!

The leaders should not be afraid of challenges while managing projects and inspiring their teams. What challenges do they face though when it comes to implementing international cooperation projects? What competences and skills are useful to overcome barriers and stereotypes when linking East and West? How to remain strong and consistent in order to promote your own visions and, at the same time, constantly strive for your goals? Which obstacles can be faced and how to overcome them while achieving milestones and expected outcomes of cooperation? The core objective of the workshop is to provide hints and basic tools that can be helpful in dealing with joint transnational initiatives, networking and building new partnerships between organizations from the EU and partner countries. The area of facilitating cooperation between people and cultures is sometimes unrevealed and requires knowledge deriving from other people's experiences. Therefore, the session will make it possible to exchange participants’ knowledge and perceptions.

The phenomenon of young people who cannot fit in labour market is growing stronger and stronger. There is a huge debate about this issue. But what can we actually do about it apart from raising awareness? The answer is quite simple - start their education in project management already in high school. A big part of the society does not realize how precious thing is in youth’s possession - time, which used in a proper way can pay off multiple times. But to make this happen, we can’t teach young people only theory. We have to let them experience it in practise through struggling with real-life situations. Only then they will learn how to deal with issues such as: too small budget, finding sponsors and patronages, etc. This solution will make youth more entrepreneurial and help them become successful people in the future, who will find their job rewarding, lucrative and for whom the word “impossible” does not exist.

Representatives of Coca-Cola Poland Services
Every year the number of young people without precise plans for their future is growing. Studies regarding the causes of decisions made by young Poles on whether to continue education or to begin their professional career have been scarce. Furthermore, it has not been investigated why young people in Poland become discouraged to continue education, and choose to start a job. These matters are the subject of the research and report prepared by Deloitte and commissioned by Coca-Cola. The report attempts to analyse which factors influence educational and professional decisions of young Poles, starting from the choice of a higher education or a job (aged 18-19) until their graduation and first experiences on the labour market as young adults (aged 24-16). The document also shows how the weight of individual factors differs based on social status and geography. The analysis is also confronted with European trends. In addition, the report includes opinions and expectations of young Poles regarding their own career, employers and the state. The research is concluded by a range of recommendations which can assist young people in taking important life decisions, while having a positive impact on both the economy and the society.
