International Week 2024: Future Skills for Global Citizens

Over the past 13 years, the SRH International Week has become a yearly meeting of colleagues turned collaborators turned friends and family. Mentors have brought their mentees to Heidelberg, the network has grown, connections became tighter, and even the Pandemic could not stop the collective efforts to stay in contact.

You're invited to our International Week at SRH Heidelberg, this year focusing on "Future Skills for Global Citizens"! 

Join us for a series of engaging lectures, workshops, and a keynote speech exploring the essential skills needed in today's interconnected world.

From AI to critical thinking to cultural competence, we'll delve into topics vital for success in a globalized society.

Experience an International Tasting showcasing diverse cuisines, visit local companies to gain insights into global industries, partake in social activities fostering global networking opportunities and this year’s special: join us on a bout cruise along the Neckar through picturesque Heidelberg! Don't miss this enriching opportunity to broaden your horizons and prepare for the future.
