‘Young Leaders Workshop’ in Belgrade

The Young Leaders Workshop took place with great success in Belgrade, bringing together senior high school and university students from Serbia who joined the event and took the opportunity learn more about leadership. The workshop took place in the frame of the EDUfair on Friday, 6th of March at the Belgrade Crowne Plaza Hotel.

Mr Jeremy Lang, Head of UKTI at the British Embassy in Belgrade, opened the event by talking to students about always giving their best, failing smartly and succeeding in life. Mr Lang used many interesting examples from human history and science. At the 3-our workshop Dr Nikolaos Dimitriadis, Lecturer at the Business Administration and Economics Department and Director of Development of EDI, talked to students about leadership, modern business skills and entrepreneurship. At the end, participating students were asked to write an essay on a leadership-related subject. The best essays will win partial scholarships for one of our programmes offered at our main campus in Thessaloniki. All students received a Workshop Certificate.

This was the second time that the ‘Young Leaders Workshop’ was delivered in Belgrade, offering a unique learning opportunity to Serbian students who also had the opportunity to get to know more about one of the top British universities, the University of Sheffield, and gain scholarships for a Bachelor’s or Master's programme.
