Bachelor Degree in Global Governance

Dear students,

we are about to start our journey in the mysterious realm of Strategic Leadership, the one that is badly needed for a Global Governance.            Complexity and Chaos will accompany us to broaden our mind, while they challenge us in our uncertain and dangerous world. This is your unique chance to enter this arena so early in life, to keep growing fast toward an understanding for impact in the complex matters that you will have to face, sooner rather than later. And very soon we'll go into our adventurous Stratex 24, where you will together walk the talk we have been doing. Get your enthusiasm up, we will have fun. But you will be challenged, so be ready for it. To start with, read your assignments and consult you reference material for each class: you will understand and therefore work better and you will have an huge edge in your exams.

Here follow the assignments for the above mentioned classes.

Have fun and see you tomorrow!
