In this interdisciplinary course you will develop a multimedia advertising campaign, based on your study abroad experiences, to encourage other young foreigners to visit Copenhagen. Through brainstorming, project development and outcome evaluation you will train your personal leadership competences in an international environment. You will create a mock business firm and, together with teammates, you will work for Wonderful Copenhagen, a Danish government agency promoting Copenhagen internationally. At the end of the course, you will pitch your project to executives at Wonderful Copenhagen. One project will actually be implemented as part of Wonderful Copenhagen’s campaign to attract more young foreigners to the city.
