Global Leaders – PARIS & FONTAINEBLEAU 2024
Global Leaders engages students in experiential and intercultural learning, focusing on a specific community, theme, or industry. The programme structure combines expert talks, skills workshops, and a team challenge directly related to the theme, community, or industry addressed by the programme.
What happened during the Expedition?
The September 2024 expedition brought students from the UK’s University of Exeter to Paris & Fontainebleau, France, to address a challenge set by Google.
Over the course of 5 days onsite in Paris & Fontainebleau, students worked together in teams to address a real international business challenge and make a difference with their ideas.
With inspirational talks, skills workshops, career insights, networking sessions and creative teamwork supported by world-class coaches, participants gained essential workplace skills. They also discovered a range of industries and career paths to hit the ground running on their career search.

Discovering future opportunities I would never have considered. Professional insights. Making me think outside of business areas I am comfortable with.
