Social Class Project

Verantwortung übernehmen

Verantwortung ist ein Grundwert der Mannheim Business School. Doch sie wird keineswegs nur in Kursen thematisiert, sondern auch aktiv gelebt. Bestes Beispiel dafür ist das Social Class Project, das fester Bestandteil des Curriculums des Mannheim Executive MBA ist. Dabei plant und realisiert jeder Jahrgang unabhängig und als gesamte Klasse „sein“ Projekt in der Metropolregion Rhein-Neckar, organisiert sich selbst und wendet dabei nicht zuletzt auch Management-Wissen direkt an. Die Liste der bislang realisierten sozialen Projekte ist eindrucksvoll und beweist: Sie sind nicht nur identitätsstiftend für unsere Teilnehmergruppen, sondern auch ein Signal, dass wir gerne und nachhaltig Verantwortung für die Gesellschaft übernehmen.
