AUDACE 6.0: a strategy to reinvent higher education
This meeting marked the official presentation of AUDACE 6.0, the flagship strategy of GA Education — a bold vision uniting the expertise of its three schools — Ferrières, EBS Paris and École 89 — around three key pillars:
- The Fusion Trail, an inter-school pathway where business, hospitality and tech students collaborate on real-world projects.
- The 100% Business Model, placing professional experience at the very heart of pedagogy through the Accelis Alternance Trail or immersive missions.
- The Family Business, a driving force behind a culture of action, humility and knowledge transmission.
“With Audace 6.0, we are turning the company into a genuine space for learning and transformation,” emphasised Pierre Frangieh, Vice-President of the Accelis Group.
