Young Creators of our Region - We connect primary schools

For the first time ever, we tried out the hydrid infrastructure of project days – we organised an after-shool project day for pupils from three primary schools at the same time. First, however, the pupils needed to be properly educated, so we organised a four-hour Our companies programme at each primary school, during which the pupils will experience what it takes to run their own business. They are tasked with coming up with a company name and logo, identifying the industry in which they will be doing business and devising a strategy to become a market leader. Just like in the real world, there are plenty of unexpected problems for the young entrepreneurs to solve. We also put the children’s IT skills to the test as they have the opportunity to program and build their own robot As part of the Our Business event, there is also a field trip to the company so the children can see how such a business works in practice. The children took on the tasks with enthusiasm and a series of great ideas and successful companies were created, such as: the production of a “robocars”; the development of universal pills that cure every disease or a company that manufactures table lamps. 

Pupils had the opportunity to visit local entepreneurs and see how they run their business. Places such as  zinc plant, café; library and infocentre all in one or local community center. They learned what it takes to run such businesses and what a successful enterpreneur is capable of.
