Global Entrepreneurship

Authored By:

It certainly has been an exciting (and busy) start to our Global Entrepreneurship program here in Berlin. All of our students have safely arrived at our location in the beautiful Kreuzberg neighborhood. Along with students settling into their new homes for the next three weeks, they've had plenty of opportunities to get to know their fellow classmates during meal times, neighborhood tours, German language class, and team building activities. 

As the students from the program began to filter in and go through the check-in process, they were able to connect with their fellow participants to begin getting to know one another.

Shortly after check-ins were completed, participants were broken out into groups to work on some team building activities focusing on communication. "The human knot" was a great way to practice this skill.

Students were then led on a neighborhood tour to become more acquainted with the area.

While these beginning activities were a lot of fun, the biggest hit of our first 2 days was experiencing German food (at the supermarket, ice cream parlors, and restaurants)!

As you can see, it has been a great start to our Global Entrepreneurship Program here in Berlin. We are all very excited to see what the next 3 weeks has in store for this fantastic group of students. Stay posted and keep checking in for more updates!
