Integration and school spirit
Now, more than ever, human connection is paramount in the formation of successful professionals, and soft-skill development is an invaluable tool to achieve it. At the same time, allowing for great relationships among diverse students and teachers, is the formula for achieving school loyalty and spirit, which leads for stronger retention and recruiting rates and thus, stronger student-bodies.
We have built a multi-discipline team that includes psychologists, pedagogues and experience designers to come up with a program that strengthens specific soft-skill competencies, like communication, leadership or team building. These programs can last for days or weeks, depending on the goals and requirements of the lead institution.
