Take part in this international competition to develop practical projects on any subject that relates to your study that contains elements of environmental awareness, social entrepreneurship or cultural exchange.
The “t-MBA International Project Pool Contest” has this year been opened, for the first time, to students across the world. It was first launched in Turkey in 2009 as an off-shoot of Doğa School’s ‘t-MBA’ Educational Model which is viewed as a teenage level version of the more widely known MBA programme. The t-MBA was recently accredited by Edexcel, the UK-based qualifications body.
Students who enter the Contest will be asked to complete up to 5 questions relating to the aims of their proposed project which will then be judged by the exclusive t-MBA consultative board* made up of leading international education figures. Amongst those on the board is Caroline Kennard from Encyclopaedia Britannica, Fernando Reimer, Professor of International Education at Harvard, and Herve Merchet, former Education Director at Apple – a range of names and institutions that underlines the status that Doga Schools aims to achieve by internationalising its t-MBA Educational Model and associated contest.
