Why, you say? Well here goes...
I am taking part in one heck of a competition. It’s called Your Big Year and it is an official event of GEW (Global Entrepreneurship Week for those not in the know).
So what is Your Big Year then? That’s a very good question!
If you can’t (or don’t have time as we already established!) get to the website, the basics are here (you gotta love basics!)
Your Big Year was created by some more funky people at Smaller Earth. (Clicky Clicky)
It’s all about getting people engaged in entrepreneurship and global citizenship. Those are some big goals right? Well there is a big incentive for the people taking part. The winner of Your Big Year will go on a trip to 5 continents doing volunteer projects and meeting world and community leaders.
You are engaged already aren’t you!
The 12 finalists get flown to Liverpool for the final where they take part in ‘Apprentice Style’ challenges.
Well I am through to stage two of YBY! Only 111 people have got to stage two and one of them is me.
Pretty cool huh? Want to know something even cooler? (Yes there is something even cooler, hard to think of such a thing I know!) I was a finalist last year!
Here are some pictures from my time in Liverpool for the final in 2010
This is cool Judith. Love the way you write.
