Brazil, Day 1.

Andrey Sidorin, SKOLKOVO Executive MBA Programme Operations Director, is today reporting for us from Belo Horizonte. It is there where the second EMBA class began their one-week trip that promises to become a really thrilling experience.

The real Brazilian heat (around 30' C) welcomed us here from the very first day. I'd like to point out that choosing the Belo Horizonte city for the start of our assignment trip was far not arbitrary. The famous Fundação Dom Cabral Business School is situated right here and it was the place where the first meetings for our students were held not to say about the introductory course on the Brazilian cultural characteristics.

 

Acquaintance with the Brazilian culture began with the fascinating Capoeira show - traditional Brazilian martial art. And with no doubt the best support in learning and understanding the country's specifics came from the local colleagues - Brazilian EMBA students.
