LifeCo Unltd SA, in partnership with Social Entrepreneurship Akademie, is calling on South African university students to apply to Gess.
Dying coral reefs, acidification, dead zones and rising sea levels are among the many threats posed by global warming to the world’s oceans and waters. The school strives to create a young generation of social entrepreneurs who are acutely aware of their responsibility towards global resource use and are able to see business potential in the solutions that solve environmental pressures.
Gess promotes diversity, global networking and critical thinking by bringing together entrepreneurial-minded students from across the world. Applications close on 31 March 2019. This is the second time the summer school will be held in South Africa.
A total of 140 students will attend Gess, which is hosted in four different locations: Querétaro, Mexico; Munich, Germany; Shanghai, China and Cape Town.
