Stanford Tour group 2 day 9

Stanford Tour group 2 day 9

We had Global Business Entrepreneurship as the first lesson. We learnt to care about the customer’s needs by designing our own backpacks. It evokes our imagination and creativity, and boosts our confidence. We also learnt about how to start a business with a 9-step business building model, which is very thought-provoking. The teacher gave us a time limit for every tasks we are doing, which gives us some pressure and motivates us to focus on our work.



The second lesson is about Circular Economy and Linear Economy.  We had a deeper understanding
on the significance of having a Circular Economy. We learnt different methods to obtain a Circular Economy, such as, recycling for other companies, use decomposable materials and much more. We had two examples for a successful circular business. One is about growing mushrooms with used coffee grounds, while the other one is about recycling trash collected from poor Nigeria families.
We then had a chance to build our own circular economy business.

It’s our last GSP meeting before our preparation. All of us were very serious for this meeting as we all sensed the lack of time. We finished most of the components of the poster. We had difficulties in coming up with names for some places on our island such as our capital. We all had different ideas on the naming. Luckily, we did manage to come to consensus after a few rounds of discussion.
