Philosophy
Unbalanced development can lead to discrimination, regional instability, modern slavery, poverty, environmental degradation, and being left behind in education and vulnerable health issues. Local youth participation in leading the implementation of ideas is essential in order to bring sustainable change.
This program aims to identify unbalanced development and empower students with skills in inclusive innovation and entrepreneurship, management, and practical experience, to rebalance the equation.
Collective Goal
We strive to be the innovation hub for connecting young people in the region with global resources, in order to generate practical impact through implementation of innovative solutions and development models.
