SOCIAL BUSINESS IDEA COMPETITION TO BECOME YOUNG CHALLENGER
We are hosting a Social Business Idea Competition in order to apply as a Young Challenger at the Global Social Business Summit 2013. According to the International Labor Organization (ILO) 73.4 million young people worldwide are excepted to be out of work in 2013, which will make a youth unemployment rate of 12.6 %. These statistics make it very clear that job creation is one of the most urgent global needs that will have to be tackeled over the next years. Therefore we want to focus the idea competition on social business ideas addressing youth unemployment.The purpose of the competition is:
1) to generate ideas to tackle youth unemployment with a social business,
2) to apply to attend the Global Social Business Summit as Young Challenger and
3) to network with other young leaders willing to take action for today's most pressing needs.
