Group on International Relations in Vlerick

Few of us in the IMBA class felt that we not only need our management knowhow but also good understanding of developments around us particularly geo-political to give us a all round perspective.We got together for the first time in the residential Social Skills Workshop and had our first meeting. We discussed about Afghanistan, Middle East and other issues.It was an enriching discussion.

We had our second meeting recently and seeing the enthusiasm we decided to make the meeting a weekly one.The group has members from many backgrounds such as politics, journalism, sales and marketing and technology and many countries that makes the discussions quite engaging.

We also intend to invite few political commentrators during the remaining part of the course to get more insights into current geo-political developments.
