Workshops
We run a variety of workshops and enterprise challenges that offer students fun and engaging enterprise experiences. These workshops and events give students and young people exciting opportunities to learn about enterprise and develop skills inside and outside the classroom.
THE BIG UP WORKSHOP
This interactive and hands on workshop inspires young people to become enterprising, get excited about business and at the same time raise aspirations. Business is no longer something people in suits do "over there"; its accessible, its everywhere and anyone can do it.
Students will set up a business, choose a company name, strap line, refine their product or service and pitch it to inc. and their teachers.
REGENERATION WORKSHOP - CLASS BUBBLES
A new initiative from inc. Class Bubbles sees teams of students take part in a regeneration workshop for their area. Teams decide on a business idea that will work towards regenerating the local area. The workshop includes research of the local area for locating their business idea, they then must consider finance and marketing. Their ideas are presented to a panel of judges and a regeneration expert.
SOCIAL ENTERPRISE CHALLENGES
inc. facilitates the day with assistance from school staff. We introduce students to the concept of a social enterprise. Students break away into teams where they will form their own Social Enterprise Company and think of a product or service they can run at school. Enterprise.
JUNK 2 FUNK FASHION CHALLENGE
A very popular challenge is our Junk 2 Funk Fashion Challenge. Teams must use all recycled materials to create an outfit including discarded fabric from shops, broken jewellery, paper, card, bags etc. As part of the challenge students (with help from the schools) must source the recycled goods. The event ends in a fashion show and presentation to the judges.
Events
In addition to these workshops we can also run bespoke events and activities where both inc. and school staff agree a programme of activities. All activities will include the 12 competencies of the enterprise framework, the nature and length of the project depends on the specific needs of your school.
Each activity has capacity for a maximum of 60 students with two members of staff on hand to support the inc. delivery team.
