Fiver Challenge is Young Enterprise’s nationwide challenge for young people aged 5-11. The programme takes place during the month of June and this year over 38,000 budding entrepreneurs were pledged £5 to start their business ideas.
Fiver links classroom learning to the outside world, inspiring children to actively learn, develop and grow. It’s a great opportunity for all abilities to explore key skills including teamwork, managing money and problem-solving skills.
“The Fiver programme is critical for driving entrepreneurship among young people. Every year, we hear new stories come about from all different walks of life.”
“The challenge has a real impact on the young people’s employability skills and will help to encourage pupils to reach their full potential.”
– Michael Mercieca, Young Enterprise CEO
10 winning teams and individuals from across the country were invited to the 2019 Awards Ceremony hosted by KidZania in London and presented by David Ribi, Channel 5 Milkshake presenter.
Awards included categories of Best Team, Best for Sustainability and Most Inspiring Individual. The Awards kicked off with a performance from BAC Beatbox Academy and a speech from Ella Meek, founder of Kids Against Plastic.
“KidZania is proud to be supporting Young Enterprise and the inspiring Fiver Challenge. We believe that all children should have the opportunity to build resilience, confidence and creativity. With the shared mission of introducing children to the world of work and entrepreneurship, we are delighted to be hosting the National Fiver Challenge awards ceremony in October.”
