“Intrapreneurship in another perspective is the capability and willingness to think and to act in an innovative, economically responsible way and to contribute significantly to a sustainable, peaceful environment, in which humanitarian equity, respect, and subservience are essential features”
Universitas Dhyana Pura (Undhira) in cooperation with the Institute of Sustainability and Intrapreneurship began the international semester program “Intrapreneurship in Another Perspective” in 2012. Undhira, through its International Office, offers international minors (semester programs), short courses, seminars, and workshops in the fields of Intrapreneurship & Sustainability.
Undhira intends to be an international gathering place and incubator for international students, academics, and professionals to meet and discuss the further development of the concept of intrapreneurship inanother perspective as a leading philosophy and one of the unique selling points for the recently started Dhyana Pura University (2011). Additionally, Undhira will implement the concept of intrapreneurship in another perspective, integrated within the different programs at Dhyana Pura University
The program is built up into different phases/steps, divided over 19 weeks (including the exam week). The 19-week program includes classroom meetings, cultural learning, excursion, individual or group project, examinations, and implementation projects. The length of the program can be adjusted to fit the need of partner institutions.
The program follows the steps according to the process of action – review – planning – action. Each step will be finished with a presentation, an evaluation, or a test. At the end of the program, every participant will give a presentation of his individual contribution to the program and also he/she will present his/her individual project.
Intrapreneurs are visionary, creative, responsible and innovative entrepreneurs/instructors for tomorrow’s businesses and services.
Why an International Semester Program?
Why an International Semester Program?
What is wrong with our global society and why does global mismanagement threaten the future of our earth, our place of residence?
The earth offers a place for thousands of species, including humans. However, the behavior of human beings especially affects the well-being of other species and our physical environment most profoundly. This causes tensions between groups of human beings within the political, economic, and socio-cultural spectrums. Simultaneously, the struggle between regions and nations, the growing gap between the poor and the rich, and the socio-cultural, religious, and/or economic domination from one group over others pose real threats to our future, as well as the future of our planet. Moreover, the physical environment on earth is in real trouble.
Real international experience is a must for students, to better understand the global society in context. International exposure can help students become responsible, balanced global citizens who can develop new thoughts and ideas to preserve the earth as a healthier planet for future generations. International education is well fitted for students who want to understand the global society in its diversity—including overpopulated regions of the Global South and East, seen from the Western point of view. Additionally, international education helps students to learn from and share with fellow global citizens, acting from their own different cultural and historical backgrounds. A basic guideline hereby is ‘think globally, act locally’. Students have to learn to take social responsibility based on transparency, conviction, patience, empowerment, and courage.
