Make Your Place
The Sustainable Enterprise Challenge
Make your place a better place
Place can refer to many things; where you live or grew up – your community, village, town or city, where you work or study, and where you relax, or do hobbies or activities. You may have several places that are important to you. You know ‘Your Place’.
How does it work?
Participants explore ‘their Place’ and develop ideas for products, services, and activities to make it more sustainable, healthier, and more enterprising and prosperous. We use well established tools such as the business model canvas alongside large maps, LEGO, and Post-its for an immersive and robust enterprise and entrepreneurial experience.
