Global Odyssey is an annual business fair organized by our school, focusing on economics and business management disciplines. During the event, various teams, including accounts, decor, food, and more, collaborate to create a vibrant atmosphere. I participated in the Accounts Team, aligning with my interests. The fair showcased practical applications of economic and business concepts, from profit maximization to marketing. As a member of the Accounts Team, my responsibility was managing the event’s finances. Global Odyssey served as a platform for students to apply classroom knowledge in a real-world context, enriching our understanding of economics and business management while fostering teamwork and practical skills.
