Secondly, students having participated in the project also testified and explained what activities took place during the 6 learning mobilities achieved within the D’Ahoy framework and how it was valuable for them. Pandemic simulation exercise, dinghy race and forest workshops led the students to exercise and reflect upon their decision skills and team coordination under pressure timing. The activities were “an occasion to step outside the classes and make something fun.” In the same time, the learning outcomes are also considered valuable for their career and personal life in facing uncertainty due to the Covid pandemic, for example.

Finally, participants of the second round table discussed about « V-shaped skills and curricula for the with-COVID period » with, as panellists, Cécile Gerwel from UKZN University (South-Africa), Bernard Remaud, emeritus Prof. Univ. of Nantes (France), and Rossella Brindani from CIS-Formazione (Italy). Panellists evoked many topics related to the DAhoy project such as cognitive biases, the Covid-crisis, leadership research, disruptive technologies and innovation. Mrs Brindani highlighted innovation as being the key lever to drive activity and economic growth, and the consequent necessity to link technical skills to innovation skills and promote the “transversal skills”. The conference ended after a range of open exchanges between the panellists and the participants, notably about the transferability of the activity conducted in the project and its potential follow-up.
