Business Masters students at IE Business School have once again proved that the impossible is possible when you work together with a common purpose – and have the Splash team to guide you.
Over four days, 170 IMBA students created a stunning garden complete with raised beds, seating pods, an outdoor classroom and decking for children from low-income families at IES Manuel Elkin Patarroyo school in Madrid.
And, elsewhere in the city, 200 MIM students built a huge castle with an outdoor classroom, covered decked walkway, benches, outdoor learning areas and play equipment for children with additional needs at CPEE Guardarrama.
The business school’s Purpose in Action experience is a critical element of the wider IE Purpose Accelerator concept which is designed to foster a deep sense of purpose within the students, guiding them towards becoming more impactful professionals.
