The Authenticitys Challenge is a fast-paced entrepreneurship experience where you learn-by-doing while creating positive change in the city you live. It is an open initiative that tackles social problems by bringing together social enterprises and students through a human-centred, learning-by-doing methodology. The way we learn is changing: Action and experience in real-life situations are a key part of education and competency building.
The Authenticitys Challenge was born from a very clear need: Students were not experiencing the entire cycle of entrepreneurship. Living through the motivation cycle, the chaos, the uncertainty… the challenge allows them to start planting the necessary attitudes and competencies students require for being an entrepreneur. Furthermore, the challenge:
The Authenticitys Challenge is a PROCESS, and its main objective is learning. Therefore our main focus and results are
based on how much the students learned throughout, not only on the effectiveness of their idea.
We seek to maximise knowledge creation: by crystallising ideas, making a plan, acting, experimenting
and reflecting on results.
The greatest source of learning is experience: we take action outside the classroom and their comfort zone for full immersion.
Raise awareness on how to create solutions that add social value in their cities.
The Authenticitys Challenge is a unique opportunity for students to work in open city initiative, allowing students to connect with the local ecosystem while finding new and different ways to add value.
Have the opportunity to participate in a social entrepreneurship project bringing together the local ecosystems of young talent, experts, entrepreneurs and a coach of the process.
Offer the students an opportunity to work with the latest methodologies on real problems in an open initiative and a collaborative learning experience. The 7 level methodology adapts so that it can be a part of an already existing course, or be developed as a stand-alone challenge.
Bring forth multidisciplinary competencies that will allow students to unearth skills and develop a resilient attitude.
