Content

Session 1:
Participants are introduced to the concept of social enterprise. They split into groups, receive their products and create their business plan - teams prepare to start selling over the coming weeks.

Session 2:
Teams present back their experiences. Presentations are monitored and teams are judged on their creativity and hard work.

Who is it aimed at?

This challenge is suited for a range of young people. Their age and knowledge base determines the depth of detail required – this project can be run in a simple way for younger participants, and for older ones many layers can be added to maximise impact.

What will they learn?

The practical experience of running their own social enterprise: working as a team, conducting, market research, identifying their target audience, advertising, pricing, customer service, cash flow monitoring and planning ahead.

Case Study

Students from Mulberry School, Tower Hamlets took part in the Enterprise-in-a-Box Challenge. Daniel Corbett, Head of Enterprise said:

“Enterprise-in-a-Box allows students to develop key core skills that are important within the real world and the workplace. There is no better way for students to learn to become a real social entrepreneur than to take part in Enterprise-in-a-Box.”
