How can you learn to be one?

  IE Net Impact Club aims to increase awareness, inspire and equip the IE community to be socially responsible in business. It annually promotes the Social Responsibility Forum, among other events. netimpact@ie.edu

On May 21, the IE community enjoyed the diversity of its students during this year's Global Village which was already the 4^th edition of its kind.

Hosted by IE´s Net Impact Club, the student social responsibility club, the event celebrates the cultural understanding and diversity of the about 80 nationalities that are enrolled at the IE Business School. 

Around 700 people enjoyed food, drinks, dancing, singing and other traditions from countries all over the world, all prepared (or performed!) by students across all IE programs. There were more than 30 tables representing more than 37 countries including: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Hong Kong, Great Britain, Singapore, Vietnam, Philippines, Indonesia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, India, Italy, Uruguay, Japan, Jordan, Korea, Lebanon, Mexico, South Africa, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Congo, Kenya, Peru, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Ukraine, USA and Venezuela. All tables showed enormous creativity in presenting their countries ranging from Mini-Sushi games, live Paella cooking and Mehendi to a big Colombian Bus outside of Serrano 99.

One of the big highlights of the event was the performance on the stage, like traditional dancing from Spain, India, Vietnam and Perú; singing from China, acting from Japan and the closing performance of the great Brazilian Capoeira. Even the IE Music Club Band presented the best of their music during a one hour rock concert surprising the guests with a cover version from the White Stripes exclusively for IE: I-N-S-T-I-T-U-T-O DE  E-M-P-R-E-S-A!

On top of an incredibly special event, €3500 was raised to support social projects in the Greater Madrid Community. In addition, local Spanish TV - TeleMadrid - covered the successful event and thus provided tremendous exposure for IE.

 

All IE people enjoyed a lot this special afternoon, sharing their culture and tasting the flavors of the world!!  Everyone left with happy feelings and a better understanding of the people they are studying with. The next event is awaited with great impatience!

Workshop 1:  Intermediate "en linea"

Workshop 2:  Rueda Casino

We are moving it up a gear this time, so come and see how you manage!

We have chosen to get an instructor to give us a few pointers in "en linea".  This is a bit different to what you may be familiar with if you are from Latin America (except Puerto Rico) or are used to "Cuban-style".  It is the style that we find most danced here in Madrid and it will give you a chance to try something different.

The second workshop is in "Rueda Casino".  This a really fun form of salsa that is danced in a big group, where everyone dances the same steps, as called by the leader, and where everyone gets to change partners in time with the music.  It looks great!

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday!!
