ABSTRACT<br />
In the rapidly developing modern society, university students who are<br />
faced with the challenges of the society and life become aware that it<br />
is inadequate for them to have only book knowledge obtained at university<br />
for their career life, and their professional competence acquired<br />
at school is really limited for their employment or career development.<br />
This paper argues that fostering students’ professional competence at<br />
university should focus on their professional comprehensive competence,<br />
taking the needs of both students and the society into consideration.<br />
Based on the professional core quality model and 4 classifications<br />
of work posts, this paper attempts to discuss and design a talenteducated<br />
“package”, which is believed very necessary. Meanwhile it<br />
emphasizes that it is of importance for the university to reform current<br />
education concepts, content and methodology so as to offer a forceful<br />
resource platform for the smooth implementation of the “package”.<br />

ABSTRACT<br />
A two-week international workshop was held in Finland during February<br />
2010 and again in Glasgow in February 2011. Entitled<br />
“Intercultural Innovation Insight Workshop” (3EYES), they were<br />
sponsored by the European Lifelong Learning <strong>programme</strong>. Students<br />
from Portugal, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Finland and the United<br />
Kingdom were placed in multi-cultural teams of five. Each team had<br />
two product designers, one graphic designer, one financial and one<br />
marketing student. They were set the task to devise new product<br />
ideas for a local company and they had two weeks within which to<br />
do it. These intensive workshops comprised lectures and practical<br />
tutorials as well as ideation sessions for the new product ideas and<br />
represent one way in which international issues may be appreciated<br />
and accommodated. This paper will compare the two events and<br />
discuss issues of social responsiveness, shared goals and identity<br />
and draw conclusions on the suitability and sustainability of this form<br />
of activity.
