Engaging Education to lead Global Entrepreneurship Week campaign

For the second year running the Hull Youth Enterprise Partnership and Hull City Council have appointed young entrepreneurs Engaging Education to lead on its campaign for Global Entrepreneurship Week. The company was appointed in order to promote the programme and achieve another high profile campaign before and during Global Entrepreneurship Week.

They also have an 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, Portfolio Holder for Energy City, said:

“I believe that if we are to engage young people in the enterprise agenda it is essential that we know what they think and Engaging Education have the right tools to provide us with that information.

 

I am pleased to see that the organisers have developed a high profile campaign to attract support and raise finances for the week’s activities.

“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 and I urge the city to get behind the Week of activities.”

Nick Sangwin, Chair Global Entrepreneurship Week Planning Group and MD Sangwin Group,

said:

"I am pleased to see the city 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."

Ross Bennett  Director of Engaging Education, said:

"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 2015, 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.
