King's is one of the United Kingdom's most historic and prestigious universities, with over 175 years of pioneering discoveries," observes Gunjan Aggarwal, Co-founder of ESquared Inc. "Founded in 1829, it is the fourth oldest university in England and has a long tradition of academic excellence, of which the programmes brought to India by ESquared are now a part.
- (1888PressRelease) June 20, 2013 - Regarded as a top-30 university worldwide, King's College London, recently conducted a module on Global Leadership in Delhi Public School Dwarka between the 13th and 17th of May 2013. King's presence in India was made possible by one of the best known digital media firms of the country, ESquared Inc., which has over the years acquired a phenomenal reputation for branding and marketing higher educational institutions in the US, Europe and Asia.
Under the 'King's comes to you!' Pre-University Programme, King's offers school students the chance to prepare for an international education whilst still at home. This programme has developed links with nations such as Brazil, China and Russia, among many other countries."
Michael Bedward conducted the 5-day module on Global Leadership. Bedward, a Creative Industries Business Consultant who has worked as a manager for the BBC and Vodafone, was an instant hit with the 58 students of Class XI and XII who were present. A specialist in the commercialisation of ideas into products and services, he teaches enterprise and innovation management at the University of the Arts, London and Central St. Martin's, apart from his commitments to King's summer programmes in London and internationally.
"I have been asked to inspire you, and I've got to say that the students of the course have inspired me," confessed Bedward, while addressing the faculty and students of DPS Dwarka on the closing day of the Global Leadership module. "In the past five days, I challenged students to develop their leadership, and their 'followship'. It was not easy. But they took it and developed it. You are the next generation of global leaders. But to become a great global leader you need support and guidance, and you need situation. The support, the guidance and the situation will continue. It will be coming from various sources - the excellent staff here at DPS Dwarka, from education-oriented organisations like Esquared Inc., from your parents, your coaches, peers and mentors. So the journey of leadership does not end here; it will continue."
Under the Global Module, King's faculty visit various countries and big schools to enable them to avail of their pre-university module, which is meant to prepare students on courses like Global Governance, Global Health, Global Leadership, Film Studies, Liberal Arts and Strategic Management. The 58 students of DPS Dwarka who took the course, received 20 contact hours spread over five teaching days, each day having two sessions of two hours each. At the end of the programme, the select group of students was the proud owner of individual certificates of participation.
"We were exposed to various activities which made us understand what's happening, what to do, how to do it and when to do it," said Saurabh Anchlia, a Class XII student of DPS Dwarka, who was a part of the Global Leadership module. "This further helped us to understand how to coordinate with people, how to be good listeners, and how to be followers as well as good leaders."
Over the five days, critical topics like Assessing your Learning Style and Leadership Potential, Leading Teams & Groups, Global Leadership Styles, Exploring Leadership Styles, Global Leadership Skills, Developing a Personal Vision & Mission Statement, Handling Conflict & Change, Decision Making & Problem Solving, Leadership & Culture, Internationalisation & Globalisation, and Leadership Personal Development Planning were discussed.
"This programme was different", pointed out Sujala Bansal of Class XII, DPS Dwarka. "Leadership is an effective process and is mandatory in today's world. I learnt here that leadership and scholarship are both reciprocatory in nature. Along with academics, your personality is crucial. This course showed me the necessity of working towards building a strong personality."
The role of ESquared Inc. as a partner was not just praised by King's College London, but also the Principal of DPS Dwarka, Mrs. Sunita Tanwar. Spearheaded by ISB, Hyderabad alumni, ESquared Inc. was raised just around five years ago.
