ThinkYoung has conducted a survey to discover how Generation Z lives in the digital era and the benefits they find in it. The results of the survey formed the basis of a manifesto for the DigitalTogether Consumer HUB, which aims to bring together consumers and digital leaders in meaningful dialogue, ultimately empowering us all to lead safer, easier and more fulfilling lives in the digital era that we live in.
The objectives of our event are to:
• Bring together young people, business leaders and politicians to share perspectives & ideas;
• Give aspiring young entrepreneurs an insight of how to harness the digital era;
• Present our Manifesto about improving the accessibility of information surrounding digital
technology;
• Educate young people about ongoing efforts of decision makers to safeguard the digital era.

WHAT IS THE ENTREPRENEURSHIP SCHOOL?
The Entrepreneurship School started in 2011 with one idea: that university
professors aren’t teaching students how to become successful entrepreneurs.
What’s missing?
There is not enough entrepreneurship education in Europe.
University education is too theory based, with students learning from professors
who don’t necessarily have the real life experience of what it takes to succeed.
When professionals are invited, they tend to be bankers, consultants and
managers, with most students wanting to follow their steps.
Our aim is to change this.
We believe that the most effective teachers and inspirers of entrepreneurship,
are actual entrepreneurs.
Our mission has been to actively engage students in a hands-on and interactive
school where students can develop their entrepreneurial skills.
This is why we created the first school without teachers.
