This is a community that is not served by social media, the internet, current trends or digital forms of media, so students really had to really dig deep to think about creative ways to build trust and engage with these communities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The students\u2019 ideas were so well received that they went on to build a final capstone project based on their development and retention efforts at FastCare Clinics. \u201cTheir impact went beyond just immersion week.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The cultural side of it all<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It wasn\u2019t all work\u2014students also participated in organized activities where they could experience different sites and aspects of Ghana\u2019s business, culture, food and overall vibe. From open-air markets and nightlife to talks from business leaders and a meet-and-greet with IE University alumni who now live in Ghana, students were able to exchange, experience and share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOne of the highlights of the trip was visiting Ashesi University, which is about two hours away from the city. It&#8217;s an institution with an entrepreneurship mindset and was founded by an entrepreneur. In fact, we&#8217;ve had Ashesi students do a summer exchange at IE University, and one of their leaders in management is also an IE University alum.\u201d While there, students were able to meet like-minded students and share entrepreneurship ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s more, students attended talks from the Deputy Minister of Finance and the Spanish Chamber of Commerce about the opportunities that exist for business and entrepreneurship, as well as visited a space for artists and two shops with clothes from top African fashion designers. Plus, those who enjoy spicy food had the chance to test their limits at different restaurants and with a variety of foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns right-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ie-africa-centers-director-eniola-harrison-on-social-impact-week-4.jpg\" alt=\"IE Africa Center\u2019s director Eniola Harrison on Social Impact Week\" class=\"wp-image-31296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ie-africa-centers-director-eniola-harrison-on-social-impact-week-4.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ie-africa-centers-director-eniola-harrison-on-social-impact-week-4-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ie-africa-centers-director-eniola-harrison-on-social-impact-week-4-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ie-africa-centers-director-eniola-harrison-on-social-impact-week-4-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"could-the-master-in-management-be-exactly-what-you-re-looking-for-too-let-s-dig-deeper-to-discover-if-this-program-is-right-for-your-career-goals\"><em>The experience had a bit of everything, and the hospitality of the hosts made the students feel right at home.<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The bigger picture<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eniola would tell anyone interested in participating in Social Impact Week to do it. A lot of students describe the week as the highlight of their program, mainly because they\u2019ve never visited the continent. \u201cTake the opportunity to immerse yourself in a culture that&#8217;s probably very different from yours. You may find that although it\u2019s different, there are a lot of similarities as well. It&#8217;s also a chance to push yourself to challenge existing views and stereotypes that you might have about the African continent and what&#8217;s going on there.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s more than just something fun to do, it\u2019s a life-changing experience. If you\u2019re looking for business with a purpose, this is definitely a great opportunity to explore what you could be doing in the world, Eniola Harrison.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year\u2019s Social Impact Week wrapped up with an award ceremony from the consulting competition. Five teams presented their ideas and one team received an award from the Ambassador of Spain in Ghana during the ceremony at the Embassy of Spain in Ghana. The students were welcomed with open arms by people who work hard and are happy to share their culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns left-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"we-re-proud-of-our-dynamic-program-alumni-who-have-landed-roles-that-earn-them-an-average-annual-salary-of-37-209\"><em>\u201cWe really want our students to be able to take that away and spread that to their home countries.\u201d<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ie-africa-centers-director-eniola-harrison-on-social-impact-week-1.jpg\" alt=\"IE Africa Center\u2019s director Eniola Harrison on Social Impact Week\" class=\"wp-image-31292\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ie-africa-centers-director-eniola-harrison-on-social-impact-week-1.jpg 740w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ie-africa-centers-director-eniola-harrison-on-social-impact-week-1-300x195.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ie-africa-centers-director-eniola-harrison-on-social-impact-week-1-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/uncover-ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/ie-africa-centers-director-eniola-harrison-on-social-impact-week-1-585x379.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns banner h-banner banner-b is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-7387b849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading banner-title\" id=\"boost-your-career-with-our-master-in-management\">Interested in learning more about IE University&#8217;s Social Impact Week and how you can get involved?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"banner-content wp-block-paragraph\">Discover where IE Business School\u2019s transformative programs can lead you\u2013and the difference you can make along the way.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button banner-btn\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ie.edu\/business-school\/programs\/masters\/\">Learn more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IE University&#8217;s Social Impact Week is designed with support from IE Africa Center to allow students to step out of the classroom and into a hands-on experience in Africa.
