What if the world’s greatest challenges were in your hands?
Join a Global Leader Experience (GLE) and develop your ability to lead from a truly global perspective. Along with students from other universities you will play a part in tackling the biggest issues facing businesses, governments and societies worldwide.
The GLE will give you an immersive international experience, challenging you to adapt and thrive in a new context while establishing a genuinely global network. It equips you with the tools you need to lead change, now and in the future.
Why should you take part?
- Develop your leadership skills and grow Cultural Intelligence (the ability to cross boundaries and thrive in multiple cultures)
- Adapt and thrive in new environments
- Build new networks locally and globally with fellow students, contributors and leading employers
- Learn and practise the skills required to quickly understand and navigate complexity
What happens?
You will explore a major world challenge “How can different generations work together to ensure cities maximise the benefits of AI?” from a local perspective. You will meet visionary leaders from global businesses, governments and international not-for-profit organisations. This will help you and your fellow participants understand the challenge and find creative ideas to solve it.
Best of all, you won’t be alone; you will build international connections and make new friends amongst this diverse group of participants.
Who could you meet?
During the four days, you will direct your own learning, speaking to leaders and visiting organisations across the city. Some of the organisations you could potentially meet include:
- Prague City Hall
- Transparency International
- Czech Helsinki Committee
- SAB Finance
