Kick-Off Meeting
Systematization of students’ business experiences through active learning workshops
Business Experience Workshop 2023/24 - Aiming at environmental and social sustainability
How can we make Venice/Ca' Foscari a more sustainable place?

The project supports the growth and employability of Japanese Language students, still suffering from the high unemployment rate and the restrictions imposed by COVID-19 in Italy in recent years.
The participants will choose and deal with various topics related to sustainability with the support of the staff of Mitsubishi Italia and other European branches of Mitsubishi Corporation, also having the opportunity to design and propose a start-up related to their topic. During the workshop, they will acquire many practical skills, such as developing an efficient strategic plan, understanding the SDGs, getting familiar with the business world and the use of Business Japanese.
The data and feedback collected through the workshop will also enable further developments of the CAFOSCARI Jisho app, a Japanese-Italian dictionary funded by Mitsubishi Corporation in 2021, now available for free to Italian-speaking Japanese students all over the world.
This kick-off and first of five meetings will be held on October 26, in the presence of Mitsubishi London and Italia representatives, who will share the project’s key concepts of social and environmental sustainability with students from Ca’ Foscari and other partner universities, along with Ca’ Foscari University scholars.
