Programme
Highlights

Every programme is tailored to align with and complement schools’ learning objectives, working across a range of year groups. Operating in both primary and secondary settings and spanning state, independent and international schools, we harness the expertise of our international founders from across 20 LSE Generate Global Hubs from the UK to Mumbai to New York. 

 

Following the process of building a business from scratch, we equip students to make well-balanced decisions, resolve conflicts in an empathetic manner and demonstrate excellent social relationships and responsibility. We help to hone critical thinking skills and creative talents; and through the nurturing of inquiring, independent minds, we encourage young people to think differently and to develop the courage to take risks - in turn building resilience.

 

Using the UN Sustainable Development Goals as a springboard and a catalyst, we encourage students to tackle and solve multidimensional issues through research-rich skills 

development and both reverse and peer-mentorship.
