3. Business Summer School 2012 (17-26.08), Romania

Every summer, 40 motivated senior students and young professionals from Romania and abroad discuss about investing in emerging markets with top academics and business professionals from all over the world. Lecturers will focus on the current financial and economic crisis and will go through its effects on the world economy. We invite you to take part in a program that will influence the way you look at the world.

Welcome to the sixth edition of Business Summer School that will take place between 14th - 27 of August 2011.

The Business Summer School (BSS) is an academic program for learning in an international context, and a forum for developing intercultural understanding. During two weeks of stay in Sibiu, the European Capital of Culture in 2007, both Romanian and foreign students will participate in debates, workshops and seminars. The academic and the practical approaches are combined in order to fully cover the learning span of the subject. Moreover, the Business Summer School is using the case study teaching method developed by Harvard Business School.

The theme of the Business Summer School is “Investing in emerging markets”

Romania is now one of the fastest growing markets in Europe and its accession to the European Union opened up a host for new trade and investment opportunities for both Romanian and EU companies. We at Business Summer School are looking forward to offering you again a platform for discussions and networking with outstanding students, academics and business professionals. Welcome! The deadline for applications is August 10, 2012.

3. Preparing Global Leaders Institute Summer School (13-26.08.2012, Macedonia)

Preparing Global Leaders Institute (PGLI) is created to train new generations for effective and ethical leadership, prepared to act as global leaders in addressing world's problems. The Institute emphasizes rigorous academic preparation and interactive learning. This experience helps participants to stimulate intellectual curiosity and build individual self-confidence and independence, while at the same time developing analytical and practical leadership and decision-making skills. Participants learn through intensive engagement in classes, debates, simulations - all involving future national and international leaders from different countries, cultures, religions and races. While our program is available for future leaders, our targets are, high school graduates, undergraduate and graduate students (young professionals) who show leadership potential. These are the ones who will be tomorrow's leaders, both within their own countries and internationally. What greater investment than a young mind that, with the right exposure, might become another Mother Teresa, Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Dalai Lama, Martin Luther King or someone who works anonymously for positive change in the communities across the globe? We offer values clarification and new skills for competency at three levels: personal, interpersonal and global.
