On the last day of our Preparatory Seminar we had a Joint Event with the sister projects Insight China and connectUS.
Some interesting guest speakers were invited to lecture on this last day and gave an overall understanding on trade and the different cultures. Next to Mr Hans Niederhäuser, Blaser Swisslube, who gave us an insight about their work in China and India, there was also Mr Maurizio Cerratti, a representative of SECO, who talked about the Free Trade Agreement (FTA).
In the afternoon, the presentation of Ms Marianne Burki, Pro Helevetia, was very insightful and put the topic “Exchange in cultural goods” in an interesting context. The Panel Discussion of Ms Marianne Burki-Pro Helvetia, Mr Fabio Menegola-Kühne + Nagel and Mr Philippe Nell-SECO would make connections to what we had learned from the seminar, and the answer-questions part was helpful to get another perceptive and improve our understanding of the challenges of international trade.
After thanking the sponsors and the organization team for their great and passionate work before and during the week, everyone was invited to a well-deserved Apéro.
Regarding to what we have learned this week, all the students feel prepared and are looking forward to an interesting two-week trip to India.
