... or how was the next field session of the Summer School

Participants of the International Summer School of the Master's Programme "International Management" continue to improve their soft - & hard-skills by delving into the peculiarities of the Ural tourism industry. On July 13, the international team, accompanied by mentors from the university, went to Sysert for the Summer at the Factory cluster.

"During the trips, students of the school can personally assess the level of development of creative clusters in the Urals. This allows to understand the business model of each specific object. Through such interactive forms of studying, students get much more information. "Walk the consumer's path" is undoubtedly more useful than listening to a presentation in the classroom. Personal impressions and live communication with the creators of clusters – this is called the accumulation of practical experience. From Sysert, we brought not only a positive charge and cool photos, but also valuable information about the organization of the "Leto na zavode" to complement our group projects. The final of the school is coming soon, and therefore the defense of the results of the entire studying period, " said Lyudmila Ruzhanskaya, head of the school, head of the Department of International Economics and Management of GSEM UrFU, Professor

Let us remind you that this is already the 8th stream of the annual project, and in 2021 the focus is on project management, entrepreneurship and the business environment with an emphasis on non-standard approaches. In the format of informal communication and immersion in real business, students get acquainted with the best practices implemented by companies in the creative industries during the pandemic crisis.

"We position ourselves as a center of economic cooperation and are very pleased that the territory of the old Turchaninov-Solomirsky factory is becoming a place of international cooperation. The team of the "Leto na zavode" project is always open to dialogue: we are ready not only to share our experience with the student community, but also to receive feedback. We thank GSEM UrFU for their interest in the Summer at the Factory project and are ready to continue participating in such meetings," Anna Russkikh, manager of the “Leto na zavode” project, shared her impressions after the meeting with the participants of the Summer School.
