Tuesday 3 August

Rise and Shine
The morning started with a game called “Changing places”. We all stood in a circle and had to change places with other people. The game involved a person shouting out a word, for example ‘everyone wearing green t-shirts’ and everyone in a green t-shirt had to change places. The one without a space at the end of the change had to stand in the middle and start the game again. This was a lot of fun, and everyone enjoyed it.

Project 24
Following the morning announcements, we started ‘Project 24: challenges in entrepreneurship’. This was good team bonding exercise and made us think about the 5 businesses that we visited yesterday. There were 20 groups in total which had to find a solution to develop and improve the business. We all got involved and discussed the way forward for the business. They ranged from sheep farm, bed and breakfast and adventure challenge. There was plenty of time allocated for this task which helped to give people the freedom to do what they wanted. There was plenty of time to do detailed research and adequate resources to fulfil the task.

We carried on with our projects throughout the afternoon and before giving a presentation we had the opportunity to visit the biogas farm and dairy unit situated at the college. We were given a tour round by the farm manager and learnt about how biogas is produced. We then had a look around the dairy unit and saw a newborn calf.

After a coffee break we met up with the company owners who we visited yesterday and presented them with our proposed projects. Each group had the opportunity to outline their project and the company owners listened and took notes. There were 4 groups for each company competing to give the best presentation and win the competition.


The business owners were really impressed with the ideas that each group came up with and chose winners for each group. The winning teams were announced in the gym in front of all participants. Each team received a prize from their company representative.

Quiz evening
After reflection groups and the team leaders meeting we took part in an entrepreneur quiz. The quiz consisted of questions about the workshops of the previous days and the posters from each organisation and country. Prizes were awarded to the teams with the highest scores and the fastest teams.
