"Builders in Our Community" School Take-Home Campaign
A campaign delivered through schools in the form of a simple take-home resource during Global Entrepreneurship Week — a conversation starter, a short family activity, and a local event listing — designed to make entrepreneurship a dinner table conversation for families who would never otherwise encounter it. Teachers are encouraged to introduce Global Entrepreneurship Week in one class or assembly, and parents are invited to participate in a free community event or connect with a local resource.
"Parents Who Build" Community Networking Event
A relaxed networking event held in a school or community setting, celebrating the informal solutions parents have already built — WhatsApp groups, childcare cooperatives, neighbourhood food networks — and explicitly naming them as entrepreneurship. The event provides a peer community, signposting to support, and a low-friction next step for those who want to formalise or scale what they have started.
"Intrapreneur to Entrepreneur" Corporate Lunch Series
A lunchtime event series hosted inside companies by their HR or innovation teams, featuring external founders who started as internal innovators before launching independently. Positioned as a talent development and retention initiative rather than a departure prompt, giving employers a reason to promote participation while exposing employees to credible entrepreneurship pathways.
"Validate Your Idea in 60 Minutes" Lunchtime Workshop
A tight, practical 60-minute lunchtime workshop that guides participants through one structured customer validation exercise — identifying their assumed customer, forming one testable hypothesis, and designing a conversation they could have with a potential buyer this week. The explicit promise is that no one is asked to quit their job; the goal is a single, concrete insight.
"Micro-Grant for Micro-Solutions" Problem Owner Fund
A Global Entrepreneurship Week micro-grant program awarding small amounts of practical support (not investment capital) to individuals who can articulate a real problem and a first step toward solving it. Applications are kept deliberately simple — one page, plain language — and judged by a panel that includes community members rather than investors, with awards made publicly during Global Entrepreneurship Week to generate awareness and inspire further applications.
Founders Trail
Get independent local businesses to display a Global Entrepreneurship Week sign during the week, publish a self-guided map of the trail, and offer local press a built-in photo opportunity, a community activity, and a ready-made feature about the people who already built something on their high street.
Side Hustle Pop-Up Market
A one-day public market event during Global Entrepreneurship Week that gives young people with existing side projects a free stall to sell, display, or demonstrate what they have built. Creates a visible, public celebration of young enterprise in the community while offering informal business support and mentor drop-ins throughout the day.
One Week to Unleash Your Idea" 7-Day Challenge
Encourage your audience to take one small, actionable task per day during Global Entrepreneurship Week. For example, Day 1 is "write your idea in one sentence," Day 7 is "tell one person about it." This campaign can be designed to create momentum without overwhelming commitment.
"What Would You Build?" Public Participation Installation
An interactive public installation placed in a high-footfall public space during Global Entrepreneurship Week — a 'sticky note wall', a chalk board, a digital kiosk, or a simple postbox — inviting passersby to answer one question: 'What would you build if you knew you could?' Responses are photographed, aggregated, and shared publicly, creating a visible public conversation about local needs and ideas while giving the general public a tiny, frictionless way to participate in Global Entrepreneurship Week.
