The club is an initiative that allows you to expand your knowledge, and nurture passions and interest. It also integrates students and facilitates their collaboration with the teaching staff.
Economic and Social Policy Club
The priority of the club is to allow students to develop their interests and soft skills, so much needed today on the labor market. This is achieved by organizing seminars and discussion meetings on topics selected by club members. It is obvious that socio-economic issues often involve social exclusion, discrimination and marginalization. We are concerned about all of them. Discussions shape out of views and the organization of annual charity events (ending with music star concert in university auditorium) helps to develop practical skills. Do you have an interesting idea you want to develop? It is an ideal place for you. Everyone should be treated like a man! With equal cruelty?
