JUNIOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP SUMMER
SCHOOL HONG KONG 2014
What happened
This first edition of the Entrepreneurship Junior School saw a gathering of more than 70 high school students coming from the best chinese high shools. Both the speakers and our team were overwhelmed by their knowledge and competence, and all partners confirmed their intention to organise this school again.
We strongly believe entrepreneurship should be taught since high school, and the great atmosphere and strong passion showed by these teenagers give us even more motivation to make the Junior School a core endeavor among our programs.
