“Shortly after arriving we heard two inspiring speeches from Anne Daniels and Anne Francke. The speeches were a great way to start the weekend, introducing us to the importance of gender equality in the work place as well as the rewarding but difficult life of a polar explorer. In particular they demonstrated the vital role that leadership plays in a wide range of situations – not just in the workplace.”
“That afternoon, we were introduced to the various charities we would be working with over the weekend and after splitting up into groups, we started to form ideas about a possible a charity campaign. On Saturday we continued our work on these campaigns, pitching our ideas to the “sponsors” before refining our script for the presentation on Sunday.”
