The journey of the Transcultural Caravan enters its next stage: It was a great moment to officially launch the Transcultural Caravan Network with our long-standing cooperation partners and our Transcultural Caravan alumni and friends in an hybrid event.

Together we aim to further develop our successful teaching, learning and research formats in a multilateral setting and enable our students to experience transcultural cooperation inside and outside the classrooms.

Our thanks go to our co-founding members of the network: The Albert Luthuli Leadership Institute at University of Pretoria, represented by Dr. Yolande Steenkamp, the Pontificial Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (IAG – Escola de Negócios da PUC-Rio), represented by Prof. Ruth Espinola Soriano de Mello together with Henrique Drumond from Insolar, the Center for Sustainability Studies at the School of Business Administration at Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGVces), represented by Professor Mario Monzoni, and the Faculty of International and Political Studies at University of Lodz, represented by Dr. Tomasz Kamiński.

Thanks to you all for being on board! We are excited to see where our common journey will take us. And, of course, we look forward to welcoming more partners to this vibrant network in the future!
