HOW IT WORKS

​

• Students divide into teams, and learn how to create a brand, plan, put together a pitch, and present a business model to compete for the chance to setup a micro-business and run their very own pop-up bookshop.

• We turn up with experienced facilitators and all the resources to run a full-day workshop.

• The students present their pitches in a showcase at the end of the day.

• Winning teams then run a pop-up bookshop at a later time, turning your school hall in to a vibrant student-run book market. 

• We come back with the stock for the winning team, so they can sell the actual books that the teams have researched and selected during the enterprise day.

• The school keeps the profits from the student run pop-up bookshop to use for buying books from the book fair for the school library and book corners.
