COURSES

Revitalise your spirit! IESE, ESADE and EADA MBA students are invited to explore one of Catalunya's most beautiful river valleys during a memorable and safe outdoor adventure. The session has been developed to create space for you to reflect on your academic experience and to connect more deeply with new and old friends.

The MBA Day Outside is an opportunity to recharge physically and enjoy an outstanding ecological area. The outdoor journey will take us on a morning hike through beautiful dry canyons and rock formations before enjoying a lunch break alongside one of the crystal clear rock pools of the Sant Aniol creek (3h). After lunch, we will climb a Via Ferratta up a colourful limestone cliff, safely protected with harness and helmet, to reach a breath-taking viewpoint over the volcanic landscape of the Alta Garrotxa (2h). An easy but scenic hike back will round out the day. Participants should be of decent physical fitness, but no special skills or experience is required.

The MBA Day Outside is organised by ActiveEarth Training, an outdoor learning company with years of experience in the region. The activities will be facilitated by Charles Donovan (sustainability educator with 10+ years experience as a corporate investment manager) and Korbi Hort (professional guide and Director of ActiveEath Training). The facilitation will include time for quiet reflection, meditation and group discussion.
