The attached toolkit is aimed at facilitators. It provides the tools needed to facilitate a Social Innovation bootcamp for participants aged approximately 12-18 years. The social innovation bootcamp forms a crucial part of the broader UPSHIFT programme.
UPSHIFT is a youth social innovation and social entrepreneurship programme, designed to build skills and opportunities for young people who are disadvantaged, due to (for example) poverty, gender, disability or ethnicity. The programme combines social innovation workshops, mentorship, incubation and seed funding, to equip young people with the skills and resources they need to identify problems in their own communities and design solutions for them.
