BUSINESS LEAD is an innovative original project that combines the didactic component (short intensive courses) with the promotion of Polish culture, tradition, history and national heritage, and fits into the wider context of internationalization and social responsibility of our university.
The project involves the development and implementation of the Intensive International Education Program (IMPK), aimed at the development of competencies in the area of entrepreneurship and business management. The main element of the project is educating students from developing African countries and building their personal and professional competencies in the field of running a business, which is in line not only with the internationalization strategy of SGH Warsaw School of Economics but also with the goals of sustainable development (SDGs 1, 4, 5, 10) and the European Union's strategy to combat global exclusion and poverty. Over the next two years, within 3 editions of BUSINESS LEAD, we will train at SGH a total of 60 students from such countries as Senegal, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Kenya and Mauritius. We will also host researchers from partner universities in these countries.
Main goals of the project:
