Are you interested in intercultural competence and entrepreneurship? Do you have experience in facilitating groups? Apply to be a facilitator in the NICE programme! NICE stands for the Network for Intercultural Competence to facilitate Entrepreneurship. The NICE programme is designed to enhance students' employability by helping them to develop intercultural competencies and entrepreneurial skills, developing their ability to apply these skills to global and societal challenges by working together in virtual transnational teams.
As a facilitator you are assigned a group of students that you will meet with digitally approximately once a week to help guide them through the programme. To be a facilitator we ask that you have some previous experience in facilitating but you can be from any field of study and it’s not necessary to have any previous knowledge about NICE. You will receive facilitator training before the programme begins.
