PEOPLE (People-Centred Development in Practical and Learning Environments) is an international 3-year EU program aiming to enhance university-business cooperation. The project focuses on the mismatch between qualifications gained by humanities and social science students and skills expected from graduates by employers in industry, particularly in the fields of anthropology, psychology, sociology, and related disciplines. PEOPLE Project team examine and explore real life industry and society challenges, aim to discover unmet needs of people, apply and test different people-centered development and design approaches, and convey industry relevant recommendations. At the core of the project is the idea that understanding people should become an indispensable part of industrial development processes.<\/p>\n

Today we are talking to Sara, Maria, Nora and Gregor \u2013 all actively engaged in the PEOPLE project and working towards a better and more efficient cooperation between higher education institutions and business. The speakers emphasize that the PEOPLE project is a problem-based and project-based learning experiment and share stories from their own experience of how this experiment evolved in practice. This approach allowed them to see the world of anthropology from a new perspective and are curious to see if \u2013 in the future – the project helps change roles within academia as well as the expectations of industry partners towards anthropology.\u00a0 Lastly we ask \u00a0them for advice for both students interested in a more practical path and professionals who aspire to continuously learn.<\/p>\n
