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.
