Best Lifelong Learning Initiative 2022 in association with Kortext

The Best Lifelong Learning Initiative award recognises the efforts of business schools that are reinventing teaching and learning among students, graduates, alumni networks and custom and executive education.

Congratulations to:

IE Business School (Spain) for ‘Turn It Around – Alumni Engagement’.

In response to the abrupt lockdown across many regions due to the Covid-19 pandemic, IE Business School designed a virtual toolkit: Turn It Around, from March to July 2020 to accompany both students and alumni during this difficult time, extending premium online learning content free of charge, showcasing alumni making a difference in the world, and hosting a comprehensive virtual experience related to professional development, networking, and wellbeing.

The response from the community was phenomenal: More than 3,000 students and alumni participated in 56 online events, 906 signed onto the School’s peer-to-peer mentoring platform, and 119 alumni volunteered as speakers, or shared their story ‘up close’.
