What are "The Business Games"?


Three European schools—Rijn IJssel (NL), RBZ-Wirtschaft (DE), and Szegedi SZC Kőrösy József Közgazdasági Technikum (HU)—will take part in The Business Games, a biweekly event where students collaborate to build a fictional yet fully functioning business.


As part of an exchange program funded by the Erasmus+ programme , students will travel between the partner schools, working in international teams.


Each group will take on specific business roles, such as general manager, sales manager, and financial manager, ensuring a realistic experience.


The challenge? Create a business specializing in office supplies.


This includes:

  • Developing a company name, logo, and branding
  • Crafting a mission statement and business strategy
  • Designing a website that showcases the company, team, and product offerings
  • Preparing professional business correspondence, including invoices and order forms
  • Ensuring compliance with international business regulations


To bring their vision to life, teams will also produce a short promotional video and present their company to fellow participants.


So, in short and concise words:



The Business Games is an event where students from international schools work in groups to create a (fictional, but) functional business retailing in office supplies.
