Discover Thriving Online September 2021, we gather students from around the world.

In September 2021, we gathered students from around the world for the biggest ever edition of The Global Learning Expedition. Students worked over seven days in international and interdisciplinary teams to address the challenge of ‘Thriving Online’ in education, society and the digital workplace.

Participants heard from Airbus, Google, Capgemini, Siemens, AWS, Total, Kuehne+ Nagel and Adidas with workshops on intercultural team work, nailing your pitch, and an introduction to Human-Centered Design. We also heard from a leading global expert in embedding sustainability into education, culminating with live presentations in front of an expert jury.
