Youth 18 to 25 work with international experts, doers and innovators, who give an overview of current global issues, challenges we face in society, and encourage an active role in the big picture. The participants learn the skills and knowledge needed to recognize social challenges and use entrepreneurial principles to organize, create, and manage an initiative for social change.
