No prerequisites. The module is a part of professional studies in the Porvoo Campus competence-based curriculum. The module advances the following competences: cultural awareness, customer understanding and a business mindset, research methods and communication. The module follows the global mindset activities in Learning Camps and is linked to environment and customer competence studies. The module is expected to be taken as a 5 + 5 ECTS module and can be later followed by a star module (5 ECTS).
