We owe you a little update: by the deadline — 27 March — we had 28 business/project ideas submitted for the Youth Spaces pilot program. Each of them was sent in by a team of 2-3 youngsters and since we can’t accept more than 30 people, a rigorous selection process follows … On 17 April we shall announce the 10+ businesses or projects that will be chosen to participate, and the sessions will begin on 22 April 2023.

Can’t wait to see the ideas the youngsters came up with and most importantly the journey of scaling them.
