virtual activities

program overview:

During this Virtual Experiential Learning Program on Global Entrepreneurship, your students embark on a virtual journey to Germany, Italy and Singapore. They get to virtually meet managers from well-known global brands, such as Porsche, Dolce & Gabbana and Singtel and meet various local start-up managers. In addition, the students become short-term entrepreneurs themselves when working on their own Start-up Challenge Projects, pitch their final results at the end of the program and receive valuable feedback from local entrepreneurs and business professionals.

The company and start-up visits are composed of virtual presentations held by managers, Q&A sessions with the students and virtual tours of the companies, where applicable. The two People & Friends program managers and workshop trainers, Andreas and Janina, accompany the participants during all of their virtual experiences. Besides managing the virtual logistics of the program, they provide guidance and support to the student teams for their Start-up Challenge Projects by teaching them state-of-the-art entrepreneurial tools and methods.

In order to engage the students virtually, there will be a series of virtual activities and cultural experiences they take part in. For example, the students go on a VR tour of Berlin, enjoy a 360° visit of the Colosseum in Rome and "fly" makhn`a�Lbg`Zihk^�l�@Zk]^gl�[r�ma^�;Zr'�?nkma^kfhk^%�ma^�students reflect upon their personal experiences during the daily experiential learning breakfast debrief sessions.
