Very much so.

I have developed skills in scoping a project (e.g. MOSCOW, PESTLE), creating the tasks (e.g. work breakdown structure), and managing risks (e.g. risk registers). This has helped me to develop my awareness and will help my future career.

Yes absolutely, lectures, performances, networking.
