In today’s fast-paced and highly connected world, mental wellness is becoming just as important as academic and professional achievement. While therapy, mindfulness, and self-care have become part of the conversation, one powerful tool is often overlooked: travel. More than a break from routine, travel has the potential to be a transformational experience — especially for young people.
At Business School Experience (BSE), we’ve seen firsthand how immersing oneself in a new environment can boost self-esteem, resilience, and emotional intelligence. Our programs in France and Switzerland are designed to nurture not only academic growth, but also personal well-being.
Leaving familiar surroundings and facing the unknown naturally builds resilience. When students navigate new cities, cultures, and challenges, they step into discomfort — and that’s where growth begins.
At BSE, students learn to adapt to new environments, work with international peers, and develop a flexible mindset. This sense of autonomy and achievement significantly contributes to emotional stability and self-confidence.
A change of environment often brings a shift in mental state. Being surrounded by new sights, sounds, and experiences invites mindfulness — an opportunity to be fully present.
From chocolate-making in the South of France to quiet walks by Lake Geneva, BSE students discover moments of calm and reflection that allow them to reset and reconnect with themselves.
Interacting with people from different backgrounds fosters empathy. Learning about other cultures allows students to step outside their worldview, a key element of emotional maturity and tolerance.
Whether it’s a hospitality workshop at Vatel or a business negotiation session at IMSG, our programs offer culturally immersive environments that encourage compassion and curiosity.
Mental well-being isn’t achieved through textbooks alone — it’s experienced through real-life connections, new environments, and self-discovery. At BSE, we provide the tools, space, and international exposure that allow students to flourish both academically and mentally.
As the world continues to evolve, the students who thrive will be those who know how to adapt, empathize, and care for themselves. That journey starts with one decision — to step outside the classroom and into the world.
