A STUDENT LEADERSHIP PROGRAMME
Each school team, comprising of students and international business mentors, competes to develop sustainable uplift plans that will change lives, forever. Through a fast-paced, online race format, teams are given a specific number of days or weeks to research real-life issues and develop business plans to uplift carefully chosen communities.
THE SCHOOL TEAMS
01
As teams progress over a three or five-week race with multiple rounds, they start to tackle more complex issues, including healthcare, infrastructure, design, education, and water harvesting.
This is not a paper exercise – winning solutions are implemented within days!
THE PROCESS

Designed to appeal to students of all ages and interests, the race complements:
-
