Graine d’Entrepreneur
Idea
The idea of Graine d’Entrepreneur comes from a simple observation : the youth of today are incredibly creative and want to discover new things. Our role is to initiate young people and show what an entrepreneur truly does.
Concept
In collaboration with the National Education department and the Lycée Albert 1er, around 15 business owners act as « mentors » for a morning. The aim is to transmit their professional experience to final year high school students in order to create a virtual project.
Goal
Our aim is to help young people to develop a taste for entrepreneurship, for creation and to move from an idea to the visualisation of the project. A person who has imagination and who brings life to projects is totally transformed and will be able to reproduce this in the future on a greater scale.
