4th meeting of the France - Benelux chapter of PRME
4th meeting of the France - Benelux chapter of PRME
Young people as a force for change
30-31 January 2020
Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management, Brussels
Today, the youth is taking the streets to ask for climate action. Social impact takes over career as a source of motivation for millennials and Gen-Z. Globalisation and technological change mean a more uncertain world than ever. Times change. Business schools need to change too. What role are our graduates taking in shaping the future ? How do we prepare them to navigate the increasingly complex environments they will be facing and have a positive impact on their organisations?
The youth, their aspirations, their energy, their actions, their educational needs, will be the focus of our 4th PRME Benelux France chapter meeting.
The meeting will also be the opportunity to continue to exchange on our experiences to transform education, research and operations at our respective schools and discuss chapter-specific and network-wide developments and projects.
Target audience
Academics, staff members, students interested in promoting sustainable development in education, research and operations in higher education in general, and business schools in particular.
