EBP Awarded Global Entrepreneurship Week Badge of Honour

 

The EBP are one of only 34 organisations in the UK to be awarded a badge of honour for organising inspirational, high quality activities during Global Entrepreneurship Week 2009.

 

During Global Entrepreneurship Week 2009, the EBP hosted a Dragons' Den event this was an event for secondary school students in Lincolnshire & Rutland. They completed a business plan which was judged by a panel of local business volunteers. The aims of the event were to enable students to recognise their creativity and enterprising skills and to give students the opportunity to present to a panel of business volunteers in a professional scenario out of their day-to-day school environment.

One of the Dragons was Andy Harsley, founder and inventor of Rapstrap, you can read more about his views on the event here:
