The Spring 2020 semester is a designed as a hands-on experiential learning program for students who have expressed a professional interest in climate action, to develop professional skills and relationships that support future dreams and careers. The program is co-created with students and customized to interests, skills and opportunities expressed by students of the Masters in International Management (MSIM).
The academic coursework for Responsible Leadership and Climate Action will offer a stronger grasp over the theme of Climate Change and critically to address the pressing Management Challenges and Leadership opportunities for Climate Action.
The program delivery is based on a hybrid-learning model, offering both online courses & classroom guest lectures. The academic learning will be linked with experiential learning opportunities, including study tours, practitioner’s workshops at the SDG Boot Camp in Geneva, multi-stakeholders UN 75 Celebratory events, and other opportunities for networking, mentoring and meaningful conversations.
The inaugural program will be led by Faculty Advisor, supported by Program Directors and calls for an active contribution from the students to own their learning journey. The content of the workshops, seminars, conferences and other programming will evolve throughout the semester and from cohort-to-cohort, based on the shared values, interests, and priorities shared by student. Students participants will be actively engaged in the design and execution of the program throughout the Semester.
