USMA Caselle

In current times, establish a good managing of people is necessary to pursue the objectives of every company. Being able to manage people is the make-or-break skill that will determine whether you build a good business or an amazing one. Indeed, the complexity of societies and organisation impose the inescapable need to manage people effectively. Nowadays, teamwork is composed of people coming from different backgrounds, with different culture and habits, and make them cooperate is a crucial task for every organization. This aspect of managing people is particularly true in one of the last projects USMA took part, called Sustainable youth work. Indeed, the project aims to train young people coming from different cultures and backgrounds, to cooperate for a shared goal, namely empowering youth workers skills. The managing part of people is particularly evident within the creation of the intercultural teams of work, which characterises the study visits. During these occasions, a group of eight people coming from four different nationalities are asked to cooperate in defining common strategies in developing youth workers skills. The success of those activities is determined both by the use of a common tool, namely an online course preliminary to take part in the activity called MOOC, and by their will to share their expertise with the other to reinforce existing approaches.
