Episode 3 – Uganda Field Trip: Study Talks - Beyond Textbooks and Borders


Listen Later

Welcome to Study Talks – Beyond Textbooks and Borders, a podcast brought to you by 30 students from Copenhagen Business School in collaboration with peers from Makerere University Business School in Kampala, Uganda.

As part of their international field study, these students stepped outside the classroom and into the real world, interviewing local entrepreneurs, exploring markets, and uncovering how innovation, sustainability, and entrepreneurship take shape in a different cultural and economic context. In each episode, they share powerful reflections, inspiring stories, and lessons learned – not from textbooks, but from lived experiences.

In this third episode, the students talk about how to adapt, connect, and collaborate in an unfamiliar environment and culture.

The podcast was produced during the master’s-level elective course “Field Study: Entrepreneurship and Private Sector Development in Uganda”, coordinated by Thilde Langevang, Rebecca Namatovu, and Søren Jeppesen, from the Centre for Business and Development Studies (CBDS), Copenhagen Business School.
