Applications Now Open for STAND's Ideas Collective 2024

Posted on 22 Mar 2024


Applications are open for the Ideas Collective, STAND’s summer bootcamp where students and recent graduates will learn the skills and techniques to shape their solutions for positive change. 

Over three weekends in July and August, they will delve into global issues and perspectives, examine their own values and purpose, and acquire tools in design thinking, as well as skills in pitching, presenting, communications, and marketing. 

The programme culminates in a Showcase in early September where participants get to pitch their idea to win seed funding.

Students can register their interest and be kept up to date with information, reminders and deadlines. Students who are ready to apply can submit their applications here
