What happened at the Global Leaders Lisbon in September 2022
Global Leaders is an impactful immersive and experiential learning experience. It begins online then takes students to a new environment to work in teams with peers and local stakeholders to solve real-world challenges while learning about the business and social environment.
The September 2022 Expedition brought International Business and Modern Languages students from the University of Exeter to Lisbon, to address business challenges for corporates, start-ups, scale-ups and the local community.
Over the course of five days onsite in Lisbon and remote, the students worked together with other engaged peers in multidisciplinary, international and intercultural teams to address real business challenges.
First Global Leaders Expedition for International Business & Modern Languages was a massive success! The result was 4 professional, confident, and innovative pitches and 4 very happy clients! A big thank you goes to Kirsten Williamson of Petrus Communication and her team who provided an amazing programme of activities and an unparalleled level of support throughout. We look forward to doing it all again next year!
