"Participating in Artemisia Social Business Competition has been one of the most valuable learning experiences for me. Social responsibility and youth development and many other world issues and topics have been some of the motivations for us to pursue and to launch our social business "Youth&Leader" (for more information, please visit http://www.youthandleader.org/ ), but also to make impact to the society and especially youth for they are the future of tomorrow's world.
It's a stimulating environment and team group. Everyone is of strong team work spirit and is with open-minded ideas and strong execution ability. I have to say I am really lucky to the opportunity to work with them, not to mention about how much we have learned from mentors, Henrique Bussacos and Howard Weinstein who I am sincerely thankful to for their efforts. Not only have I learnt from those great people and preeminent leaders of different fields, but also be inspired from the experiences to communicate with them and actually grow under their guidance, which would also be the drive for us to further develop our idea and put it into practice.
Youth&Leader's mission is to provide integrated platform and career opportunities via online learning platforms and connections to social networks that broaden the ability of our youth to participate in ways to combat poverty at the same time to provide the resources necessary to empower them to build a brighter future and make positive changes in their communities.
Recently we have held an event of Andrew Fiddaman's speech on entrepreneurship at Renmin University in Beijing, Mainland China. Andrew is the Managing Director of Youth Business International (YBI), one of The Prince of Wales Charities. Youth Business International (YBI) operates through a network of locally based Youth Business Programmes in 39 countries that help young people start their own business. Andrew is also on the advisory boards of various organizations dealing with leadership skills, enterprise development and social responsibility and is a member of the UN Economic Commission for Europe’s Team of Specialists on Entrepreneurship. Many of (the participating students) have already talked to me about the excitement at the time and after the event. I believe it would be one of the wonderful memory and learning experience for them to truly witness the charm and brightness of a leader from international level and to be encouraged to strive for excellence and fulfill our dreams. This is a start, and Youth&Leader would like to invite and gather more leaders and young students in the near future."
