Youthpreneur 2025 - Junior Track

Youthpreneur 2025 Junior Track workshop by Divergent Entrepreneur Academy.

A day to explore, create and speak up

Youthpreneur 2025 – Junior Track for teens 10 – 14 years old gave the young people a full day of hands-on introduction to entrepreneurship. Through activities, conversations and team projects, participants explored how an interest or a problem could become the starting point for a business idea.

The day began with check-in board invited participants to notice and share their energy, creating a welcoming starting point for a day of learning together.

The workshop check-in board invited participants to share how they were feeling.

Discover: Find your passion

The first stage encouraged participants to consider what lights them up and which problems they would like to solve. Icebreakers and conversations helped them recognise their interests, describe themselves and learn about the people around them.

Dream: Shape bold ideas

From those starting points, teams began shaping raw ideas into something tangible. They discussed possibilities, listened to one another and considered how their ideas could offer value. The emphasis was on thinking beyond a first answer while making room for different perspectives.

Develop: Build practical skills

The programme connected entrepreneurial thinking with financial literacy, communication, creative problem-solving and networking. Group tasks gave participants opportunities to make decisions together, explain their reasoning and practise turning a concept into a clearer proposal.
