Global Entrepreneurship Week : All the fluff!

Global Entrepreneurship Week

SEMAINE GLOBALE DE L’ESPRIT D’ENTREPRISE
avec Cercle de Banamba & Association SIDA LAKARI
17 u 23 Novembre 2008

Objectives for the Week:

o Inspire – introducing the notion of enterprising to those under 30 years old through a seven (7) village bike tour
o Connect – network people in an effort to find new ideas, nationally and globally, by hosting a seven (7) village bike tour, a circle-wide artisan fair, an all girls soccer match, and implementing Junior Achievement’s Notre Commune and Mini-Entreprises program
o Inform – demonstrate through skits and HIV/AIDS sessions that the drive to nurture enterprising talent needs business, education, government, voluntary organizations and the media to work together-no single sector or organization working in isolation can create opportunities on this ambitious scale
o Mentor – enlist active and inspirational entrepreneurs around the world to coach and mentor the next generation of enterprise talent as they pursue their entrepreneurial dreams, for example the Mini-Entreprises program and prevention of HIV/AIDS
o Engage – inform opinion leaders and policy makers that entrepreneurship is central to a nation’s economic health and culture and to provide different nations with the opportunity to learn about entrepreneurial policies and practices from each other (HIV/AIDS is real and can counter-attack all the positive efforts the population is making towards a more enterprising tomorrow)

o Encourage the following package of skills:
§ Opportunity recognition;
§ Creativity;
§ Problem solving;
§ Risk taking;
§ Resourcefulness; and,
§ Passion for ideas.
