The Primary Enterprise Challenge
The Primary Enterprise Challenge is one of our flagship programs at Young Dragons CIC, designed to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit in children aged 6-11. Through this exciting initiative, we aim to inspire the next generation of innovators by providing them with the skills, tools, and confidence to bring their creative ideas to life.
Working in partnership with with Alison Williams, Headteacher at Craigfelyn Primary School and Swansea Council, the Challenge is aimed at all Swansea primary schools. In addition to student-focused activities, teachers can access free training on how to implement enterprise in the curriculum led by renowned entrepreneurship educators, including Professor Andy Penaluna.
This challenge encourages young learners to work in teams to solve real-world problems, think creatively, and develop business ideas. From brainstorming to pitching their concepts, students experience the entire entrepreneurial journey in a fun and engaging way. The challenge fosters key skills such as teamwork, leadership, problem-solving, and financial literacy—essential tools for their future academic and career success.
