The Business Innovation Week started today at @businessschoollausanne (BSL) with the participation of more than 40 students. This morning, we all revisited our learning journeys to answer the following questions: – What is the most important lesson we have learned in our lives? – Where and how has this learning occurred? We realized that our most important learnings were more related to our attitudes towards life and learning, rather than discipline specific concepts, tools and frameworks. Some of the key words shared by the students: flexibility, empathy, team work, managing emotions, resilience, etc. We also realized that most important learnings happen out of the classroom, students mentioned interactions with one another, daily activities, moving to new countries, internships, etc. as important drivers of learning. In my opinion, true learning transcends contextual and temporal dimensions, it helps us in fine-tuning our relationship to ourselves and our environments. Through true learning, not only do we absorb information and knowledge, but also we are able to reflect on and refine how we learn and how we think. I hereby thank the students who organized this week and wish them best of luck with the continuation of the week. #truelearning #learning #bslfeed
