BSBI aims to empower its student and alumni network to plan and execute meaningful projects that will provide the foundation for disadvantaged communities’ future development.
BSBI is committed to creating equal opportunities and providing support to advance causes affecting the youth and their access to education. As an educational institution, BSBI works to enhance the learning experiences of its students by providing avenues for practical skills-building where projects can be implemented to bring about real and positive transformations. True to its promise of innovation, BSBI encourages its students to create and develop business plans for non-profit causes that involve community-building activities and long-term change.
We are truly delighted that Berlin School of Business and Innovation has the opportunity to extend the reach of the institution and its resources. By providing the tools needed to promote long-term, positive change, we strive to transform local communities around the world and help them overcome their barriers to education.
At BSBI, we aim to support future business leaders who have the courage and determination to bring about real change within the global
community. The life skills and learning experiences that empower our student body are built on a high standard of excellence and are therefore the quality tools we hope to pass on to younger generations within these communities too.
So many children from less privileged backgrounds are prevented from reaching their academic goals every day as a result of financial difficulties. Simply by raising awareness surrounding these issues, we hope to engage with both current BSBI students and alumni and help build a proactive support network.
We hope that the leadership and entrepreneurial spirit of BSBI provides the proper foundation to provide solutions to existing issues and challenges affecting local and international communities.
BSBI is proud of our students and graduates. May you continue to embody our values – Enterprise, Leadership and Success – and bring about a positive impact wherever you are in the world.
Share and Care Club for staff and students
On Tuesday 9 November, we launched a Share and Care club for staff and students aiming to bridge the gap between students and staff who had extra items and supplies to offer and those who require them. It was interpreted as a healthy exchange of products that were no longer in use by one person but were extremely valuable to another. It helped us to become more environmentally conscious and they were able to support each other in small ways. For two weeks, we opened the doors to accept items. Staff and students responded overwhelmingly, submitting over 85 items, including jackets, shirts, purses, shoes and other accessories. Students were able to pick up items anonymously with many students
benefitting from this club. We started giving out items on Friday morning, and the most of them were gone by the evening of the same day. We are aiming to do this at least three times a year so that every new student may benefit and can be assisted with their first days in Berlin. We express our gratitude to the Student Council for their assistance and oversight and to everyone who helped make this club a success. A BSBI MA Innovation student said: “I would like to share with you all how the Share and Care goodies system helped me find a pair boots and jacket for the Berlin winter. “Kudos to the Student council for organising such an event which I am sure not only helped me but others in need as well!”
Ignite Africa Campaign
The Ignite Africa Campaign is focused on providing access to quality STEM education to 200 less privileged children in underserved communities in Lagos State, Nigeria. This involves the creation of a community-based STEM innovation center that would serve as a STEM skill acquisition hub for under-privileged children. Beneficiaries will gain valuable skills in coding, software development, web design, UI/UX design, Microsoft office suite and many more. Beneficiaries who are out of school will also be restored back to school and provided with all necessary school materials.
The Ignite Africa Campaign is the first step to breaking the cycle of poverty in the communities of impact because it arms the future generation with the right knowledge and skills that would give them the competitive advantage to access better opportunities in life, achieve their dreams, and liberate their communities. We are looking to build innovators who will be movers and shakers and has the potential to change the world.
Join us, let’s build communities we will be proud of.
