BRAC Business School organizes “Study Tour” every semester to give the students a hands-on-experience to the real-world besides the pedagogic comprehension. On 4th June 2016, a day-long trip to a UK-based social organization “Shishu Polli Plus” in Sreepur, Gazipur was successfully led by the prominent lecturer of BRAC Business School, Ms. Nusrat Hafiz. The team consisted of student-body from “Principles of Entrepreneurship” and “International Business” courses. “Shishu Polli Plus” pioneered by a British lady Ms. Pat Kerr, has set to provide education to around 400 children and empower their impoverished mothers by through vocational training.
The team of Ms. Hafiz was divided in three groups, who explored the organizational activities through conducting open-ended interviews to the staff and trainees and taking notes. Later, they organized an art competition under the theme of “My Dream-Environment” for the children of “Shishu Polli Plus” and distributed prizes among the winners. The session ended with a rejuvenating music session by BRACU students and children. The trip ended with fun-filled learning for the students and helped them to meet the practical world over theoretical knowledge. They will certainly treasure the amazing memory for a long time.
