Who
This two-day intensive workshop is available to all current postgraduate students (PGT / PGR) at the University of St Andrews.
When
The event will run on 14 and 15 May 2024, in person in St Andrews. Applicants should be available between 9am and 5.30pm on each day. Lunch will be provided.
Why
The Social Innovation Sprint pairs teams of postgraduate students with a local, national or international charity which has a project they are looking for help with. The projects produce key outputs that the charities can use straight away. Students benefit by developing entrepreneurial mindset skills, such as teamwork, project management and problem solving, and receive an award on their HEAR degree transcript.
What
Project work is interspersed with short workshops to help participants develop transferable skills. Examples of previous charities and projects are:
-
- Design a marketing campaign for Nepal Glacier Coffee for The Glacier Trust
