We believe the core of any good enterprise is the ability to meet social needs and create a positive impact, whether it's serving your local community or finding new ways to repurpose used material, so we designed our programme with this in mind.
Over the years, we've worked with many organisations to deliver impactful experiential learning and entrepreneurship education for young people around the world.
