Empowering Students to Solve Complex Global Challenges
As part of the 20th Anniversary of IEEC in Nottingham this September, Enactus is hosting a Social Impact Sandpit designed for students across all disciplines.
At Enactus, we understand the necessity of high-impact applied learning that bridges the gap between theory and practice. In alignment with the conference theme, Beyond Boundaries, we are inviting students from every faculty to apply their unique subject expertise to a specific social or environmental hurdle.
Please note that students from any university are invited to take part in this opportunity and it is not restricted to students from NTU/NBS.
Why recommend this to your students?
- Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Participants will work in mixed teams, breaking out of subject and University silos to tackle complex problems from multiple perspectives.
- Professional Recognition: Every student earns an Enactus certificate and a digital badge, providing tangible evidence of their teamwork and problem-solving skills for future employers.
- Expert Mentorship: Students will have the rare opportunity to stress-test their ideas with the educators and industry experts attending the IEEC.
- Inclusive Innovation: No prior business experience or ‘big idea’ is required. We provide the tools, the structure, and the support; the students simply need to bring the energy and enthusiasm to have a great day!
