THE PUPMs AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW “COMPETENCES FOR LIFE”

The competences for life and welfare are the capacity of adopting appropriate and responsible behaviours to face satisfactorily the dairy challenges of life, either personal, professional, family, educative, social or of free time. The “competences for life” allow an organization of our life in a healthy and balanced way, facilitating us experiences of satisfaction and welfare.

FRIDAY, 12th OF DECEMBER.

9.30 h – 10.30 h: Optional visit to the University of Deusto

10.30 h – 12.00 h: World café. What competences are we talking about?

Through this interactive and collaborative methodology we will work in questions that will allow us to see the knowledge and grade of fulfilment of the competences in the PUPM’s. In order to do that we will have the support of the Technical Unit of Innovation and Quality (UTIC in Spanish) of the University of Deusto.

In the University of Deusto, there are five competences: verbal communication, written communication, ethical sense, group work and the use of technologies. This five competences are aligned with the four dimensions of values advocated by the institution, as there are:

• Utilitas: practical dimension. The university proposes to train for professional excellence through academic excellence.

• Iustitia: social dimension. It follows to train persons “to the others and for the others”, compromised, as citizens, with the building of fair social, economic, and political structures.

• Humanitas: humanity dimension. It is proposed to stimulate the training of the “comprehensive person”, morally supported in the centrality of our common dignity.

• Fides: ethical-religious dimension. It invites the students to search processes of the last sense of life, from a free and voluntary perspective.

According to the decision about the distribution of generic competences rises up a map of competences that completes the curricular net.
