SOFTEN project at Isyde2024

We were at the Italian Digital Education Symposium on “Lifelong Digital Learning and Education” to present the results of our research on integrating soft skills in STEM curricula.

The project partners are now developing a MOOC for university teachers called ‘Green Soft Skills for Transitions’:  it aims at creating awareness of the importance of soft skills for students, not only during university years, but, in particular, when they start working. It offers an overview of those skills that can be useful in green industries or in green processes and describes techniques and methodologies that teachers can adopt in their courses, to let students develop soft skills.”
