SUMMARY:Regional M.A.R.K.E.T. Student Activity: The Debate "Humanists in the Digital Market" at UWM
DESCRIPTION:The debate “Humanists in the Digital Market” is part of the “Human in Digital” series\, organized by the Faculty of Humanities at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn. It combines a humanistic perspective with the rapidly evolving world of technology\, artificial intelligence\, and the digital marketplace. The event is primarily aimed at students and young people interested in developing future-oriented skills\, as well as anyone seeking to better understand the relationships between humans\, media\, and algorithms. \nAs part of the event\, experts in marketing\, e-commerce\, and digital communication engage in a discussion on the role of humanists in a world increasingly shaped by data and technology. The conversation focuses\, among other things\, on the impact of AI on the labor market\, the importance of humanistic competencies in digital environments\, and the responsibility of creators and companies in shaping communication and influencing audience decisions. \nThe event has an educational and inspirational character—its goal is to demonstrate that humanistic competencies play a crucial role in designing\, interpreting\, and critically analyzing contemporary technologies\, and that dialogue between academia and business is essential for shaping the future of the labor market. \nThe debate also reflects the mission of the ChallengeEU Alliance\, which supports cooperation between universities\, students\, regional stakeholders and the world of work in response to contemporary social\, digital and economic challenges. By creating space for dialogue between academia and business\, the event contributes to ChallengeEU’s focus on smart digitalisation\, future skills and meaningful engagement with regional innovation ecosystems. \n\nThe debate will be held on-site only and conducted in Polish. \n \nGraphics by Piotr Przytuła
