What our cohort say
“This programme has taught me how to focus on the details of an event. It has taught me to focus on logistics and approach all ideas with a funnel approach”
“I’ve learnt how important belief in yourself is, and trusting in your event idea. When you have an initial idea, its hard to envision how it’ll translate, but as the programme went on and I learnt all the skills needed to organise my ideas and run an event, it has given me the tools to share my vision with my community”
“My self-esteem has been boosted hugely since the programme. I would also say the next best thing I learned is pitching and crowdfunding, because through this I have learned my business potential and have secured funding for this”
“To just go for it - nothing is ever perfect but making that initial step and putting yourself and your idea out there is really exciting. Also to start believing in myself a little more - I can do it!”
