ABOUT
The summer school Sail&Learn offers a unique cultural and educational experience for international students. The summer school program is organised as a boot camp with innovative models and team work.
Throughout the 7-day program, participants visit a number of cultural and historical sights on the islands that help them develop a sense of local culture and gain understanding on how lives on the islands are intertwined. Besides that, students analyse examples of innovative tourist services and products which helps them develop their own ideas within the program itself. The additional workshops on Sustainable Tourisam and Industry 4.0 will help participants in developing their digital and leadership skills.
During the Sail and Learn program, students are situated on sailboats. Thematic workshops require practicing communication skills in international teams with the goal to improve team dynamics. Living arrangements on the boat throughout the program are a part of the adaptation skills training that includes challenges and tasks aimed at increasing team cohesion and developing an understanding of various leadership styles and working cultures in highly diverse teams.

O PROJEKTU
Naziv projekta: Profesionalni redizajn web stranice Visoke poslovne škole PAR
Uzastopno s povećanjem broja korisnika interneta, povećava se broj osoba koji određenu informaciju, proizvod ili uslugu pretražuju na internetu. Najnovije istraživanje Eurostata ukazuje kako je najbrži rast postotka online kupaca u EU ustanovljen u dobnoj skupini od 16 do 24 te od 25 do 54 godine, koje ujedno čine i primarne kupce Visoke poslovne škole PAR. Putem projekta prije svega želi se da web stranica bude odraz temeljnih vrijednosti institucije koje su sadržane u Strategiji Visoke poslovne škole PAR. U okviru izrade profesionalne web stranice, prilagodit će se i njezin vizualni izgled i to na način koji omogućava uravnoteženi, estetski i grafički jedinstven dizajn web stranice, a koji će odgovarati „PAR“ brandu.
Cilj projekta je redizajnirati službenu web stranicu Visoke poslovne škole PAR te povezane domene i pod domene u svrhu privlačenja novih korisnika web stranice, boljeg pozicioniranja te podizanja konkurentnosti Visoke poslovne škole PAR u internetskom okruženju. Projekt planira rezultirati širenjem i jačanjem konkurentnosti Visoke poslove škole PAR kao vodeće obrazovne ustanove u internetskom okruženju, gdje će profesionalni redizajn web stranice u potpunosti održati njezin brand, misiju, viziju i temeljne vrijednosti kojima planira privući veći broj korisnika kao i kupaca obrazovnih usluga na nacionalnom i međunarodnom nivou.
Ukupna vrijednost projekta: 142.000,00 kuna.
