The opening day brought together the participants of this new edition for a rich program of meetings, inspiration, and experiential activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The event marked the beginning of <\/span><b>a learning journey that connects people, experiences, and cultures<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, united by a shared goal: to grow both professionally and personally in an environment open to dialogue and innovation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Paola Giuri<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Associate Dean for Professional Masters and Professor of Management at the University of Bologna, welcomed the participants with a speech focused on <\/span><b>personal responsibility in learnin<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">g. Her message encouraged students to live the Master as a conscious process of building their future, grounded in listening, commitment, and openness to change.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><b>conversation between faculty and alumni <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">offered an opportunity to share experiences and reflect on how the Master journey transforms careers and mindsets. The voices of former participants showed how the encounter with peers, professors, and companies can redefine the way we think about work, professional relationships, and aspirations. <\/span><b>Each story provided a concrete perspective on the link between education and personal growth<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, highlighting the importance of active and open participation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Federico Baffetti<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, entrepreneur and lecturer in Artificial Intelligence, outlined the transformations that AI is generating in the world of work. His analysis emphasized the need to acquire new skills and to <\/span><b>develop a vision that integrates technology and creativity, data and responsibility<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. In a fast-changing context, flexibility, adaptability, and the ability to navigate evolving tools and scenarios are becoming essential.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On this same horizon, <\/span><b>Daniela Bolzani<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Associate Dean for Diversity &amp; Inclusion, focused on<\/span><b> the ethical dimension of education<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Her contribution reaffirmed the central role of the human being as the true driver of transformation, stressing the value of listening, fairness, and relationships \u2014 principles that remain crucial even in highly technological environments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the afternoon, a participatory art workshop led by theatre director <\/span><b>Pietro Floridia<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and visual artist <\/span><b>Sarah Pour<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> engaged participants in a collective creation: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cPassaggi di sapere\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passages of Knowledge<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The activity led to the creation of eight large canvases, each the result of collaborative work between groups invited to choose an object symbolizing knowledge to be passed on. Writing, drawing, and printing turned ideas into visual expression. The outcome was a collective tapestry representing knowledge as a shared good \u2014 something that circulates, connects, and generates meaning.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following day, the visit to <\/span><b>Villa Guastavillani<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the meetings with each Master\u2019s staff allowed participants to engage more closely with the School\u2019s environment and programs. On October 24, the <\/span><b>San Luca Experience<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a collective walk under the portico leading to the Sanctuary, offered a moment of shared reflection outside the classroom \u2014 closing the welcome program in a symbolic, informal, and relational setting.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On October 22, the new edition of the Professional Masters at Bologna Business School officially began.
