iMagination Week Global BBA 2021: Transformation of oneself, Transformation of ecosystems

From 30 August to 3 Septembre 2021, iMagination Week will once again welcome the 400+ students in 3rd year of the Global BBA program.

These 5 days will allow students to take height with conferences of experts in arts, sciences, and other domains, who will be able to inspire them, stimulate their imagination and perhaps shake up the preconceived ideas. In parallel, it will also be an opportunity for them to apply creativity methods directly and to work as a team around the following theme: "Transformation of oneself, Transformation of Ecosystems".

The iMagination Week, under the patronage of Anne Lauvige (BBA96) will welcome many strong personalities with unique backgrounds, who will come to share their experiences with the students.

"iMagination Week aims at enriching students culturally by taking them out of their environment, explains Xavier Pavie, ESSEC professor and iMagination Center Director. The iMagination Week confronts students with transdisciplinary experts, instilling a "visionary" spirit. Its objective is to help students become aware of the challenges of the society they are going to build and start questioning their contribution. Also, iWeek aims at helping students develop their critical skills for their life: creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, inquisitive posture. At the end, stimulating their imagination to enhance responsible innovation for the future."

This edition will be held 100% online, for the first time on YouTube Live, to increase shared knowledge to a wider audience.
