In the framework of our Erasmus+ project, EmpowerHER, which aims to encourage young people, especially young women, to explore entrepreneurship, develop their skills and turn their ideas into action, we organised a two-day entrepreneurship bootcamp for young people aged 16 to 21.
During the workshop, our participants experienced entrepreneurial mindset through various excercises such as BMC, pitching, and personnal branding. They also tested the Virtual Reality Escape Room Game developped during the project and aimed at teaching entrepreneurial skills through gamification.
What an amazing experience! We are trully thankfull to all the participants who joined us for this entrepreneurship bootcamp. They brought creativity, commitment, teamwork and enthusiasm making these two days truly special and fun.
Congratulations to all the teams for their truly impressive pitches! We were amazed by the incredible progress made over these two intensive days, and by the dedication and energy every group brought to the programme from start to finish.
Watching your ideas evolve — from those first tentative discussions and rough sketches of concepts, to the polished, confident presentations you delivered — was genuinely inspiring. It’s clear how much thought, collaboration, and hard work went into refining your projects at every stage.
A big thank you to all our partners, supporters and jury members who contributed to making this experience possible:
A special thank you to the Ministry for Gender Equality and Diversity (MEGA) for their support, and to Joanne Becker for joining us as a jury member.
Thank you to the Luxembourg Media & Digital Design Centre (LMDDC) and the Université du Luxembourg Incubator for welcoming us in their inspiring spaces and providing the perfect environment for creativity and collaboration.
Thank you to Jonk Entrepreneuren, and Myriam Baustert and Tahra Narr for their inspiring pitching workshop and for guiding the participants in transforming their ideas into strong and impactful pitches. A big thank you also to Tahra for joining the jury and sharing her expertise and feedback with the teams.
And thank you to our Director, Marina ANDRIEU for joining the jury and sharing her valuable entrepreneurial insights with the participants.
It was a real pleasure for us to bring this bootcamp to life and create a supportive environment where participants could learn, experiment, collaborate and believe in their ideas.
The adventure continues! We are excited to accompany the winners of the Social Impact Prize and the EmpowerHER Special Prize to the international final in Brussels this September. Amélie & Hayun will have the opportunity to represent their project and continue developing their entrepreneurial journey.
