Welcome Leadership Week Fall 2022

This year, Welcome Leadership Week kicks off across our campuses in Geneva, Madrid, and Barcelona on 12 September and will last the whole week.

This week is a great chance for incoming students to start mingling and making friends, getting their feet steady in their new city, and having some real fun with their classmates. 

Across the events, students will learn everything they need to know to make the best of their time at Geneva Business School. 

The Welcome Leadership Week will include:

• Group activities to let students start to mingle with each other
• Help for students to pick up basic local language skills
• Advice on navigating the bureaucracy of living in Spain and Switzerland
• Getting students ready to work on projects together
  
  

Case Study Leadership Project

Welcome Leadership Week is also the launch of new students’ first major project. After breaking off into small groups, students will be presented with a case study. This project will get students’ feet wet on all the main elements needed to become successful businesspeople:

• Ethics & legal
• Finance
• Entrepreneurship & innovation
• Expansion
• Marketing
• And, of course, leadership

With the guidance of faculty mentors, new student groups will spend time each day collaborating on this exercise. On Friday, the final day of Welcome Leadership Week, these groups will present their work to the rest of their new colleagues.  

 

This is a great chance for students to show their quality, and also to start learning from industry-leading experts.
