    The E-Learning Programme was created as a 6-module + Forum exploration of the enterprise journey using Hazu as the Learning Management System (LMS). Each module was created as a series of micro-learning activities using a combination of videos, reading, activity, reflection, downloadable materials and quiz.
    The E-Learning Programme was supplemented with a 1-Day Online Bootcamp focused on preparing the participants on pitching. This used short "refresher" sessions on the Pitch module and interactive exercises in the break-out rooms, building participants' confidence on their pitch content and style; ultimately preparing them to take part in the online Concours pitch on the 19th Nov 2020.

    Flourishing through Wonder: Create the possibility of new futures

    "When we look through the lens of wonder we connect with our imagination, creativity and resilience. We open up the space to flourish in our daily lives. What we are present to in wondering, unfolds our future selves. This talk explores why, how and what we can wonder now, to create the possibility of new futures which align with a flourishing planet.

    Wonder is a powerful, practical tool used in futures, design and systems-thinking to imagine, explore and challenge the status quo of the present and disrupt predictions of the future. Wonder creates a level-playing field for everyone to come to the table to share their unique blend of problem-solving creativity. It enables us to connect deeply to Nature and be inspired by it for innovative solutions. Wondering brings us into states of flow and deep play, triggering positive emotions which contribute to our wellbeing. What we wonder together, plants the seeds of change that we will take back into our individual lives and share with our communities of change."

    Resilience for Going Fast & Far on Your Entrepreneurship Journey
    Wednesday 9th October 2019 – 13.30 – 17.30, EPFL Innovation Park, Building D, Room Uranus

    Your entrepreneurship journey is full of challenges on a daily basis. To go fast and far on this journey to create successful brands and businesses you need to be resilient. That means moving from a strong core of flourishing to cultivate the conditions for your problem-solving creativity and innovation thinking.

    Being resilient does not mean pushing yourself over the edge: if you are burnt-out, your business is at a stand-still. By deepening your resilience so that you adapt and navigate personal, professional and organisational challenges, you stay agile, dynamic and moving towards your goals. Resilience is about joy, deep play and staying creative to find new perspectives for solutions and open up new opportunities. As you embed resilience tools, you make the space for your team to be aligned with and delivering your vision, mission and values.

    In this workshop you will:
    Learn practical skills to deepen personal resilience
    Allow yourself to flourish, feel more joy and avoid burn-out
    Map a new path to achieve professional goals
    Link resilience tools to developing lean, effective business processes
    Practice interactive activities to embed your resilience toolkit
    Leave with a resilience practice for unlocking creativity, innovation & entrepreneurial mindset

    Who should attend? Everyone. Founders and team members from start-ups; Founders and team members from scale-ups; students and individuals exploring turning an idea into reality.
