Our Creative Enterprise Challenge

Are you looking for something creative, sustainably focused and educational

to boost your child's learning experience?

​

Are your children interested in creating a start-up business in the future?

​

Why not get stuck into our Creative Enterprise Challenge?​

​

Over five days, ten young people (also known as Challengers) are split into two teams of five to meet a sustainable design brief that involves designing a brand, product, marketing video and start-up business plan. They design and make products using recycled materials and learn handicrafts, graphic design and digital fabrication skills throughout the week.

​

The challengers also learn business skills to cost their products to make a profit at retail. At the end of the week, each team has its ‘Dragon’s Den’ moment where they present and pitch their creations to an expert panel of judges who are successful entrepreneurs themselves. 

​

Each team identifies a target market and corporate client. If they are happy with their finished products they can then go on to sell them to these customers should they want to.

​

"The Creative Enterprise Challenge aims to educate and inspire young people, who will walk away at the end of the week with so much more than a product and a business plan. We’ve seen the transformation that’s possible in just one week in previous programmes, with young people often starting the week a little nervous but by the end of the week they’ve made new friends and built their confidence.”
