'Make It Happen'

The 'Make It Happen' is simulation about project based work in diverse teams around societal project issues. Team members will take different roles in a team, such as team leader, corporate relations responsible or events and media responsible. They will be provided with the training and education needed to perform in that responsibility area and to do project relevant tasks.
