The Future Studies program enables students to participate in Alumni2Students mentorship program which allows them to meet and cooperate with all Belgrade Open School ’s alumnists. Alumnists were, at their time, the part of this multidisciplinary program.
Mentors share their experience and knowledge with students, they also help them develop necessary skills and assist them with professional orientation. Rich career and signifcant experience in Belgrade Open School’s Alumni network make them helpful to students with their orientation later in life, while also helping them with dillemas that occur along the way. Students, on the other hand, share their experience with mentors which makes this a two-way process.
What is also important for students, except advices and knowledge, is the chance to get new information on topics that are in their sphere of interest and a chance to build strong network in Belgrade Open School’s community. This type of cooperation is informal, which leaves enough space for mentor and student to build their relationship as friendly, not just professional. Cooperation is supposed to last 8 months, with at least 8 meetings. Pace, method and goals are specifed by both mentor and students which is beneficiary for everyone participating in this program.
Important part of this module is Students2Students lecture. In these lectures, students within the same generation of Future Studies share their experience with each other in the areas of their academic interest. Current, 29th generation this year had the chance to participate in two interesting lectures. Nikola Ilić held the lecture „Political Culture – Case study of Serbia“ while Nikola Pavlov introduced the topic of criptocurrencies to his collagues and held the lecture „Black and Gold – pros and cons of blockchain technology“.
Wide alumnist network is the clear signal that Future Studies are the program with tradition which follows up contemporary society because our students are the ones that take part in projects related to it and make necessary decisions.
All additional information and answers related to program will be shared at the Info session about jubilee 30th generation of Future Studies, June, 8th, 2022 at 11:00am. The info session will be held in Belgrade Open School’s headquarters (Bulver oslobodjenja 177). You can sign up for this event via email address upis2022@bos.rs.
