Engaging Education commissioned to support @GEW2014

In order to achieve another high profile campaign before and during Global Entrepreneurship Week, the Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership have appointed young entrepreneurs Engaging Education to lead on its campaign to promote the week because of its understanding of the aspirations of young people as well as its national reputation of being able to attract business support for young people’s projects and activities. Global Entrepreneurship Week is all about embracing innovation, imagination and creativity. It showcases enterprise, opening up new opportunities for young people across Hull, the UK and the world.

Councillor Martin Mancey said

“Now more than ever, we need fresh thinkers who spot opportunities, apply their talents and overcome obstacles to make their ideas happen, hence Hull gets fully behind this important week and engages with our young entrepreneurs. 

I believe that if we are to engage young people in the enterprise agenda it is essential that we know what they think and that in order to raise finance for the weeks activities in Hull I am pleased to see that the organisers have developed a high profile campaign to attract support through Engaging Education."

Johnny Wootton Director of Engaging Education  

"We are delighted to be appointed by the Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership to lead on their campaign to promote enterprise to the city’s young people during the week and in the run up to GEW 2014, and to lead on their campaign to attract high profile speakers and finance for the week whilst working with GH Events and Thomas Arran Photography.

We have already established a twitter account with over 1,000 followers and a new websitewww.gewhull.co.uk and have made contact with over 200 businesses in the City to seek their support.

Whether you're in education, business, the public sector or a charity, everyone should get involved in Global Entrepreneurship Week. It's about developing people's enterprise skills and helping them achieve their ambitions so I urge the City to get behind the Week of activities and if any one wishes to sponsor the week then please contact us now"

Hannah Crookes Vice Chair Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership

"I am pleased to see that the Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership has commissioned young entrepreneurs Engaging Education to raise the profile of Global Entrepreneurship Week in Hull amongst young people and the business community.

Global Entrepreneurship Week embraces big issues like innovating out of the recession, low carbon technologies and sustainable growth. It puts Hull at the heart of global exchange, global trade and builds a culture of global ambition in Hull and the Humber in particular and the UK in general."
