Innovation in Entrepreneurship and Employment
Humber’s Sulawesi Economic Development Strategy (SEDS) & Save the Children Youth in Action Program (YiA)
This exhibit invites you to see the developing world through the eyes of today’s youth. The images and voices weave together stories about the challenges and opportunities in earning an income in an economy that does not offer a direct path to employment. The exhibit asks the question: “What would you do if you couldn’t find a job?” and “What innovative ideas can offer sustainable livelihoods for vulnerable populations/ youth?” Explore this topic through two international programs focusing on entrepreneurship for young people. Humber’s Sulawesi Economic Development Strategy (SEDS) is advancing entrepreneurship in universities in Indonesia by equipping the next generation with the skills and confidence to break out of traditional career paths. Save the Children’s Youth in Action Program supports out-of-school rural African youth to develop their foundational and entrepreneurial skills and explore livelihood opportunities. Through their words you will learn about the power of creative thinking, the upside of taking risks and how passion can fuel sustainable change.
