ABOUT PROJECT GEN Z
The team at Project Gen Z will be launching the ‘Dare to Dream’ workshop series in Phnom Penh for over 400 children aged 15-22 years at Sunrise Children’s Village founded by Geraldine Cox.
Over a three-day period the children will be educated, inspired and motivated by the Project Gen Z team. With games, practical activities and lots of learning, the series will wrap up with an Apprentice-style business challenge run by Andrew Morello (winner of ‘The Apprentice’ Australia) and an awards ceremony to recognize the efforts of any outstanding students.
The idea is to give the children an opportunity to dream a little bigger. By teaching them entrepreneurial tools such as goal setting, the importance of a positive mentality, money management and leadership skills, the children will learn to stand on their own two feet and be given a head start to life.
WHY PROJECT GEN Z?
In 2011 our founder Liz Volpe got the opportunity to spend some time with Geraldine Cox at the incredible ‘Sunrise’. Here she met some of the most inspirational and beautiful positive minded children, and it changed her life. Liz vowed to do something to make a difference… Project Gen Z was born.
