From the introduction:

How can future leaders be educated via cultural exchange with Brazil is the research question that guided our journey to Amazonia (Brazil). The aim was to observe the local leaders’ capabilities and skills and to understand how people live there, who are their future leaders and how they could teach us to be future leaders. The third day, defined as a key living moment, represents the unit of analysis of the research.

The topic was analysed through the lens of the Transcultural Leadership theory, which explains that the important point of transculturality is the recognition that, in a globalised world, mutual benefit can only be derived if people from different backgrounds collaborate and cooperate.

This paper is structured as follows: First the theoretical background and the methodology are presented and discussed. Afterwards the key living moment (in this case the third day) is presented. Finally, the findings are presented and discussed.
