About GlobCom

The Global Communications Project is an international project run by 13 universities of 13 countries in 5 continents. The participating students will be in their 2nd or 3rd year.

About 7 to 10 international teams are formed. Each team gets the same PR briefing and has to develop a presentation of a PR problem – as in a real pitch – which has to be presented at the end of the project. The virtual teams collaborate using the interactive tools of this website as well as E-Mail, Skype, facebook, twitter and other means of their choice.

The seven tasks of the project are:

  1. to collaborate in a multicultural team
  2. to persuade through a presentation
  3. to overcome cultural barriers
  4. to act together online in a virtual team
  5. to work as an agency solving a global PR issue
  6. to recognize the strength of cultural diversity presentation_collage
  7. to learn implementing global strategies locally
