Join us on Thursday, 30 January for a Webinar on Experiential Learning, hosted by the GBSN for Business and Human Rights Impact Community.

📢 Topic: The Business and Human Rights (BHR) Clinic as a Pedagogical Innovation to Train Leadership Skills

Human rights challenges are among the most pressing and complex business issues today—impacting supply chains, privacy, labor standards, and more. With legal frameworks like mandatory human rights due diligence in Europe, addressing these challenges is no longer optional.

- Students tackle real-world business challenges in collaboration with partner organizations.
- Gain hands-on experience with human rights issues as leadership challenges.
- Develop skills in analytical thinking, project management, and team leadership.
- Learn how immersive education empowers future leaders to create impactful solutions.

📅 Date: Thursday, 30 January
⏰ Time: 8:00am - 9:00am EDT / 2:00pm - 3:00pm Geneva
📍 Location: Online

This session is perfect for educators, business leaders, and anyone interested in integrating experiential learning into leadership training.
