READY TO THINK BIG
AND BUILD THINGS THAT CHANGE THE WORLD, TOGETHER?
Ever seen something wrong, unfair or awkward in the world around you and thought… I have an idea that could make that better?
That’s what being a change-maker is all about. Being brave and bold enough to spot things that need fixing, and building solutions from the ground up. Creating things that the world’s never seen before, that your brainpower made happen!
Join us for this pop-up event to hear from people who do this every day — and learn how you can use your unique talents and ideas to make an impact, too. It’ll be a fun, relaxed and hands-on session where you’ll get to come up with a solution for a real business dilemma, using your own creative thinking powers. You’ll work in groups to help out our good friends at De Koffiejongens. They want to take their brand international, and they need your brains and spark to come up with how!
Our coaches’ mission is to guide you all to be curious, have fun, work and learn from your mistakes together, and fearlessly bring your ideas to life. These are true change-maker skills that stay with you for a lifetime… oh, and they’re great to have if you want to be your own boss later on ;)
Listen. Think big. Work together. Create. Share your ideas!
Here’s the plan for the day:
+You’ll hear from our coach Agnese about how she started being her own boss, building a company that works to make a positive difference
+You’ll work together to solve a problem for a real business: Our friends at De Koffiejongens want to take their brand international, and they need your bright ideas!
+You’ll discover what you need to know to come up with a creative plan that will help their business reach more people and do more good
+You’ll learn how to fearlessly pitch your idea in 30 seconds. Trust us, that’s all the time you need to get someone to believe in your vision!
You’ll head home knowing that you’ve got the power to think up new solutions to problems that matter to you, and to create an impact by making your ideas a reality.
And we hope you’ll be ready for more! We’ll be back soon after this pop-up with an 8-week course where you’ll learn how to start and run your own business that works for positive impact, so this is just the beginning of an exciting road ahead.
