WQ is the new IQ

by Education First


WQ, a new way to think about competence. In today’s globalized world, you can’t compete by only excelling on traditional indicators such as IQ and EQ. Instead, your success depends on your understanding of different cultures and people – your WQ or World Quotient.

We are very happy to invite you to take part of this evening co-hosted by NextGen CH and, EF Education First. Join us to engage in insightful dialogues and learn from each other on the topic of WQ.
