The Two-Day Spotlight on GE’s “BCG Next Gen Ways of Working” took place on February 28 and 29, 2024, at AU Plaza in the CL Building from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM. The event aimed to reflect on how the knowledge gained from GE courses is applied in real-world scenarios. It also highlighted how extracurricular activities, through collaboration with both internal and external units, have enriched students’ learning experiences.
Throughout the program, students gained knowledge in a wide array of areas, including ethics, intercultural performance, personality development, improving daily living, and current global issues. They explored political views related to the French Revolution, participated in a CPR demonstration, and engaged in cardio exercises. These activities encouraged students to consider diverse perspectives, promoting respect for cultural and ideological differences. This event not only helped students apply academic learning in practical situations but also fostered a well-rounded and holistic educational environment.
The program aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
- SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being – Promoting physical well-being through CPR demonstrations and cardio exercises.
