Our initiator, Ben Valks, was invited by Peggy De Rop, Director of the Dutch Chamber of Commerce in Brazil (Dutcham), to join the jury for the 4th edition of the Orange Academy Award!

The program is developed with the support of the Rotterdam School of Management and Erasmus University in the Netherlands, aiming to bring together young professionals to share knowledge, learn, and grow.

Over 8 weeks, talents – selected from various prominent Dutch companies in Brazil – engage in immersive and interactive online sessions with experienced speakers from diverse fields.

At the end of the period, participants work in groups to present a case study to a professional jury during the graduation ceremony. Winners are rewarded with a discovery trip to the Netherlands!

We would like to thank Peggy De Rop for the opportunity to share knowledge alongside such inspiring young professionals!
