A 45-minute talk

Ideal audience size is one or two classes. We can visit a school and do several talks within one morning.

All we need is a classroom with a projector.

The topic: What makes an entrepreneur

This is a general talk about what it is that makes an entrepreneur. What such a person looks like, what knowledge and skills he/she needs and what it means to be one. We aim to chip away at stereotypes and awaken the entrepreneurial spirit in pupils and students and encourage them to try and go into business. In the course of the talk, we introduce our organisation a describe what we do and how we can help. Audience participation is welcome. We ask questions but don‘t force anyone to answer them.

Duration: 3-4 classes including breaks (2 ½ hours)

Number of participants: between 10 and 20

Venue: a regular classroom with chairs

Format: a series of games and exercises stimulating creativity

The participants play games and complete exercises that stimulate the entrepreneurial spirit, develop creativity, encourage them to work as a team and not be shy when to say what they think or present the results of their work. There are individual as well as team tasks with the instructor playing the role of a moderator rather than a lecturer. The final product of this workshop is a detailed business idea which the teams/individuals present to their peers. It is ideal preparation for more advanced programs for the development of business ideas.
