About GlobCom
The Global
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:
- to collaborate in a multicultural team
- to persuade through a presentation
- to overcome cultural barriers
- to act together online in a virtual team
- to work as an agency solving a global PR issue
- to recognize the strength of cultural diversity presentation_collage
- to learn implementing global strategies locally
