Dr Vicky Papachristou receives award for her presentation at the University of York Annual Learning and Teaching Conference
We are extremely happy to announce that Dr Vicky Papachristou, Assistant Professor in the English Studies Department, received the Poster Session Runner-up award for her presentation at the 2021 Annual Learning and Teaching Conference "The Changing University", organised by the University of York on Friday, July 2nd 2021. The award was made by the University of York Learning and Teaching Forum Committee. More specifically, Dr Vicky Papachristou delivered a poster presentation through a screencast titled "Reconnecting with society: The Public Engagement Scheme", which focused on the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion values that educational institutions have started adopting in Europe, showcasing the turning point for change. Drawing on the notion of Service Learning, Dr Papachristou demonstrated how civic engagement has been promoted and successfully implemented in the “Practice in English Language Teaching” Stage-3 module and curriculum of the English Studies Department at CITY College, University of York Europe Campus, by designing and offering language lessons to learners coming from financially vulnerable groups. As the aforementioned module combines public engagement with credit award and employability, teacher-trainees are engaged with real teaching of English in a foreign language context applying the knowledge they have acquired throughout their studies. At the same time, teacher-trainees are assessed via portfolios and observed teaching. What is of pivotal importance is that teacher-trainees offer back to society by teaching learners who come from financially weak social groups and who otherwise would not have the means to learn English. We would like to congratulate Dr Papachristou on the award and the great work she has done in organising and supervising the Public Engagement Scheme.

Real-life project for Balkan Holidays by our Business Students
Our students had the opportunity work on real-life project for Balkan Holidays, the leading tour operator to Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia and Romania Applying knowledge in the ‘real-world’: A rewarding learning experience for our students while working under the supervision of business experts Students were tasked to work around two key questions: 1. In the context of tour operating, what is the future of destination management companies (DMCs)? 2. What will be those DMC new products that a tour operator should create to meet the changing demand? Project key objectives included research on holiday experiences and satisfaction, opportunities for digital transformation, and the role of DMCs Undergraduate students of the Business Administration and Economics Department of CITY College, had the opportunity to get first-hand field experience by working on a real-life project with Balkan Holidays, the leading tour operator to Bulgaria, Croatia, Montenegro, Slovenia and Romania. Working under the valuable guidance of Mr Athanassios Manos, CEO, as well as of Mr Teodor Minev and Mr Plamen Katzarov from the Business Development department, our students conducted primary market research to identify customer satisfaction in relation to holiday experiences, support digital transformation strategies, and examine the future of DMCs. On the last day of the project, Mr Plamen Katzarov, Director Corporate Strategy, Innovations and Business Development, Balkan Holidays commented: Today marks the final day of our action learning projects together with @CITY College, University of York Europe Campus, related to the future of Travel! Students have done a fantastic job, showed enthusiasm, passion and it was so inspiring to see their progress throughout the sessions! For us as a Company it was a great pleasure to share our experience and we are thankful that we had the chance to be part of this wonderful journey! Thank you! The project was undertaken as part of the Practicum of their studies which is a valuable and successful component of all Bachelors programmes of the Business Department and was led by Dr Giovanni Serafini, Assistant Professor. While working for their practicum, business students learn new skills, work closely with accomplished professionals from a range of industry sectors, build up employability skills and competences and have one of the most rewarding learning experiences during their studies at CITY College. What is the Practicum? Business Practicums are supervised action learning projects designed to provide students with an opportunity to manage a project for an organization (“participating company-client”). They aim to successfully bridge academic knowledge and the development of professional skills and employability. They are team-based and normally delivered over a semester requiring students to devote an average of 150-200 hours in total (depending on the nature of the project). The student work is complemented by classroom-based teaching/mentoring. The precise nature of the project can vary enormously depending on both the nature and the needs of the organisation. Participating companies can be large corporations or small local businesses. The common denominator is a genuine need for help with a problem or appreciation of the added value of some independent research beyond the resources or capabilities of the participating company. This may be a general management problem, a marketing issue, a finance matter or any number of specific challenges.

After overviewing the complexities and stressing the substantial investment involved, it was concluded that managing compensation at a global level represents one of the most crucial challenges for global HRM.
