Details: Frontrunner for students from China and the EU
How do you gain the international experience that will make you more competitive in the working world?
Frontrunner for students from China and the EU aims to bring together students from different countries to learn from each others' experiences.
On this course, students from a host EU country and those who are studying there from China explore what leadership means in different cultures. Participants will learn about the host country: how the government is structured; how the economy works; and what the working world is like. Additionally they will develop key skills that will help them adapt to their leadership in new countries and cultures.
Common Purpose is piloting this course in the UK, with courses currently being developed in France and Germany.
See what our alumni had to say:
Over four days you will explore leadership - moving your
understanding beyond models and working with individuals who are
leading in organisations and society. You'll even have a chance to
test your own skills as you tackle some of the challenges faced by
these local leaders.
Additionally you will spend time with peers learning about and debating what it means to be a leader. You will contemplate how life experiences and culture have influenced your ideas. You will have a chance to explore how you can be a more effective leader.
Students will:
- Expand their international networks
- Better understand their cities and local communities
