MSM co-organizes launch meeting for Benelux and France PRME Chapter

As one of the initiators of the PRME Benelux-France Chapter, Ms. Hermina Kooyman, Deputy Director Global Education Programs, was present at the 2-day PRME seminar, where over 25 business schools and universities, from France, Belgium and the Netherlands, came together to discuss the official launch of this PRME chapter.

During this 2-day seminar, predominantly held in a “world café” format so as to be as inclusive as possible, the vision, mission, risks, objectives and potential activities as a chapter were discussed. A steering committee was created at the end of the 2 days, which will focus on setting up the Chapter in such a way that a long-term success can be guaranteed. As one of the founders of this project, MSM is pleased to announce that Ms. Hermina Kooyman will represent MSM on this steering committee, during its first year of growth. MSM is an advance PRME signatory.
