Engaged generation : YES Camp (Young Entrepreneurs for Society)

Empowering children to become change in their communities early on in life is essential for developing socially responsible humans. This bootcamp promotes civic engagement and social responsibility to both university students and children. The bootcamp achieves this by training and qualifying university students to become the transmitters of what they have learned to children ages 8 to 12 years.
Engaged Generation: YES ( Young Entrepreneurs for Society) is a unique learning experience designed to inspire young minds to become agents of positive change. Through interactive workshops, games, storytelling, and team based projects, participants explore the world of social entrepreneurship- identifying challenges in their communities and brainstorming innovative, sustainable solutions. With a focus of leadership, empathy, and collaboration, this camp equips youth with real-world skills and a powerful belief in their ability to create impact.
