The first edition of Say YES! was welcomed by students and participating businesses as a great success and a good starting point for ongoing collaboration..

The following companies participated in the first edition - contributing to the programme as well as delegating representatives to join students during the day:

Accounting Plaza, EC Kraków, Hewitt, HSBC, Philip Morris and UBS

During four workshop sessions students together with ASPIRE companies’ representatives discussed and put into practice leadership, teamwork, diversity and intercultural communication. Over 40 students (who competed with their peers to participate in the day) and 10 business people explored their future potential for cooperation within the Enterprise Club.

In the evening participants joined other business guests at the ASPIRE Roundtable in the Council Chamber at Kraków City Hall for a lecture on “Post-Communist Transformation and the Problem of Trust” delivered by Prof. Piotr Sztompka of the Jagiellonian University. The event was hosted by Tischner European University and The City of Kraków.

We would like to thank all the students, company representatives, facilitators and hosts who all contributed enormously to the success of the first Say YES!
