From sustainability to digital, from health to education and IT, the projects presented by ESCP students during the “Choose to act! Pitch your project for change” investigated the varied issues facing our future lives.
Faced with ecological change and growing uncertainty due to the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, there is an urgent need to move away from utilitarian education, focused on financial profitability. To understand what lies ahead, it is necessary that students have more than just recipes and ready-to-think methods.
To meet these challenges, ESCP chooses a detour through art. The history of artists of the past century testifies to their ability to overturn certainties and reinvent normality.
Many small and medium-sized businesses are struggling with the economic and social effects of the Pandemic. A few months ago, a group of talented Italian students and graduates from top-tier European business schools, joined forces to launch a not-for-profit social impact-driven consulting company: Thrive.
It was launched in Italy during the pandemic to help start-ups and SME's navigate the COVID and post-COVID times.
How does a company with a high social impact function? How are its effects on the community measured? Is it possible to design new models that are productive and ethical? The Impact Entrepreneurship Programme - Option-E, the first course co-designed by ESCP Business School and Cottino Social Impact Campus, will investigate and answer these questions.
