The Circular Economy Challenge is a national enterprise challenge, introducing students to the idea of a Circular Economy and the impact of our society on the planet.

Programme Overview

 

More than ever, young people are acutely aware of their impact on the planet and what they can do to help make a difference.

The programme is designed to introduce the young people to the benefits and principles of the Circular Economy through case studies and interaction with business ambassadors. Pupils will design a ’circular’ product or service where everything has value, and nothing is wasted. They will then be given the opportunity to present their ideas to a judging panel of experts.

The programme enables the pupils to develop their enterprising skills in a real-life context, giving them an understanding of the world of business, design and technology and have the opportunity to create a company, carry out market research, create a business plan and advertise their product or service with its own logo and tagline.
