The camp took place from June 30 until July 11 and saw the participation of a large number of students in age group of 16 to 24 years. Meanwhile, the second episode of the 2019 edition began yesterday and will continue until July 25.
The Summer Camp included visits to successful projects owned by local entrepreneurs where students had the opportunity to work temporally and explore avenues for job shadowing.
Further, a series of workshops was also held to highlight the attributes behind successful projects such as ideation, value proposition, marketing strategy, business model, development strategy, financial management and funding requirements. These workshops offered
participants the platform to learn the various aspects needed to kick off their future projects and ensure their continuity, Bedaya said in a statement.
