Interview with Ing. Lukáš Válek, PhD. from University of Hradec Králové, Czech Republic. He is Research Management Clerk, Dean's Office of the Faculty of Arts. We are talking about his experiences connected the non-formal methods in the education of economists. There is life out of the capitals! Why does an economist involve himself to volunteer activities and later on go back to the ivory tower? What is the best solution if you do not want to let your students to sleep on a project management class in the University? Why do the students need time to wake up from the shock when they meet the first questions they need to answer? Principles of management, managerial methods and a lot of topics are perfect to involve non-formal learning methods as a teaching tool. Sometimes the definitions are too dry to remember, but when the peers collect those ones together is easier to remember. Could you do a good training if you are not the biggest fun to be a participant’s one?
