Target Audience

  • Government officials who wish to gain a deep understanding of political, security and economic trends in order to be able to see developments within a larger context.
  • Aspiring corporate officials to have a more comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and obstacles present in the international sphere to improve their chances for successful business.
  • Mid- to high-level professionals who seek a qualitative edge to the information they receive and to the relationships they want to build.

Participants in the program will have the opportunity to choose whether they wish to attend individual modules, or to attend the entire three module program. In this way, the program provides flexibility according to the main interest of the participants.

Each module involves one week of full-time training in Geneva. Participants who are accepted must confirm their availability for the entire period of one, two or three modules and attend all sessions during the module(s).

Methodology

The program is led by a team of diverse course directors, experts and leaders. It takes a multifaceted interactive approach to learning and will focus on three main dimensions:

  • In-depth classroom analysis of security policy issues through plenary discussions, case studies and working visits to International Geneva institutions.
  • Individual and group skills enhancement through workshops and simulations.

We suggest participants stay at the InterContinental Hotel Geneva, given the proximity to the program venue
