Futures Exchange

The job exchange is interactive, experiential and educational event focused on pupils of the second level of primary schools and pupils of secondary schools and vocational schools, which connects the world of work with reality, enthusiasm, youth and experience. In one morning, students will have the opportunity to gain insight into various professional areas, meet inspiring personalities and practically try out activities associated with individual professions.?

The event is based on the principle of station rotation, similar to MakerFest or CreativeMinds, where students can choose topics according to their interests and actively participate. Each station presents a profession in the form of a short lecture, practical demonstrations and a space for questions. The program also includes a mini-interview on stage with selected guests - the students themselves can provide the moderation.
