Overview
Inspired by the Global Business Experience (GBE), this is a group program that exposes participants to international communication in English by means of leadership, business and cultural experiences in an environment only New York City can provide.
Dimensions
Each GBE program is never like any other. However, all syllabus is based on 5 dimensions:
Who should attend
Participants who look to be exposed to diverse situations in English that can contribute to their personal development.
Participants who wish to broaden their cultural and business repertoire, allowing them to draw parallels with their reality in Brazil.
Participants who are interested in improving their social and networking skills.
Participants who are interested in understanding cultural differences and their impact in businesses across main global markets, including geopolitics.
Participants who are moved by the opportunity to associate communication development in a cosmopolitan city with fun and entertainment. Maybe an opportunity to get away on a mini vacation?
Participants who value behavioral learning and learn from practical experiences in a light-hearted and entertaining way.
Takeaways
More agility in intercultural communication in English leveraged by the usage of a much more versatile repertoire.
Getting to better experience NYC out of the typical tourist scene.
American culture appropriation, with focus on entrepreneurship, innovation and business view.
Ability to draw parallels between the experiences in NYC and reality in Brazil, personally, professionally and business management wise.
ECE Experience
The ECE experience places the participant “on the scene” within a unique environment that only New York can provide. It is, above all, a field experience.
We are talking about a one-of-a-kind experience, exclusively prepared for the participant who is placed at the center of any activity and all activities related to his/her areas of interest.
The curatorship of this program transforms the schedule into a theme oriented experience. For example: one day is dedicated to leadership and different activities, meetings, visits, talks and even in-the-classroom coaching sessions. Other themes include sustainability, innovation, finances, services and entrepreneurship, among others.
This is an 10 to 15-hour immersive experience that starts with breakfast to discuss the current news and ends with an evening function.
Program Structure
Super intensive program, 100 hours distributed in two full and consecutive weeks in group work format for cohorts of up to 8 participants.
