Abstract
The paper is problem-oriented aiming at finding solutions to the problem of enhancing leadership skills of students. The authors review recent publications on leadership models so as to distinguish building blocks of leadership skills. Based on literature review the authors make conclusions about the role of extracurricular activities and focus on real life events and festivals at engineering university. This research paper aims to examine the effects of events and festivals for developing leadership among students. The authors use empirical research with conclusions drawn from empirical evidence, namely, observation, student focus group discussions, interviews, and a survey of over 50 festival participants. The survey covered the issues related to the ability of students to solve problems and to manage conflicts. In general, the students were encouraged to be actively involved in different activities that imply the research being based on student-centered approach. The paper aims to discuss leadership skills in the context of organization events and festivals and how it can actually help students’ professional life.
