Blue Skies Roadshow - Greater Manchester

Creating a more entrepreneurial Britain

We are pleased to announce that the Blue Skies roadshow is coming to Manchester once again, this time in the summer term of 2007.

  • Dates: Tuesday 3 July 2007
  • Show Time: 1pm - 2.30pm
  • Venue: Odeon Manchester, The Printworks, 27 Withy Grove, M4 2BS
  • Price per Student: £5.00 (1 free teacher place per 10 students, Minimum Booking 20 students please)

Blue Skies is an interactive multi-media roadshow, hosted by Lucie Cave, Features Editor at Heat Magazine.  Blue Skies aims to:

  • show young people aged 14-19 that starting and running your own business can be a realistic career option
  • give your students an insight into the attitudes, skills and knowledge they will need in order to become a successful entrepreneur
  • provide an opportunity to meet and question a number of young entrepreneurs from your region who have already taken the plunge!
  • support work-related learning and enterprise education initiatives

 

There are lots of opportunities throughout the show for students to ask questions and get involved.

There’s also a business quiz, with prizes for students who give the correct answer.

You can see a short video clip of the show at www.blue-skies.uk.com

Students attending the show will receive a goody bag containing their own copy of businessdynamics' Little Book for Big Ideas, which contains lots of interesting information and inspirational stories about people who have taken the plunge and set up their own businesses, together with other useful information about business, lots of goodies and advice on where to get business start-up help.

Teachers will receive a registration pack in advance of the show, containing information about the support that is available for people wanting to become entrepreneurs in your area, as well as some ideas for other activities and programmes that will help to re-enforce the learning outcomes that students gain from attending the roadshow.

At the show you will also learn more about NFTE, (the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship), which can help you put the ideas and inspiration gained from the Blue Skies roadshow into practise.
