This summer the Network For Teaching Entrepreneurship team have been busy running NFTE Biz Camps around the country. The NFTE Biz camps are set up to give young people an opportunity to get involved in Entrepreneurship during a fun and interactive week, which includes hearing from a variety of guest speakers and site visits to companies such as Google and IBM. The young people have been exploring new business opportunities, social enterprise, developing new business ideas, market research, and product and business development.

On 10th July, 14 young people from Co. Mayo travelled to UNESCO Headquarters in Paris to present their findings as youth researchers.

This work has been a partnership between Foroige, Tusla and was supervised by the UNESCO Chair in Children, Youth and Civic Engagement at NUI Galway.
