- Curiosity and creativity (finding an innovative idea)
- Critical thinking and reflection (analysing a need, defining a strategy)
- Communication (presenting and defending the project)
- Altruism and openness (working as a team, integrating societal issues)
- Boldness (daring to undertake and experiment).
Each student completes a project under real conditions—scientific, entrepreneurial, artistic, or digital—supported by our teachers and validated by an academic and professional jury.
