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. 

Collective Strategy

Rapidly changing situations can be tackled or responded to by multidisciplinary or transdisciplinary innovative solutions through social reconstruction starting from local youth.
