Come August 12 and many kids from all over India will gear up to bring out their inner Heroes.
Based on the premise that a Hero lurks inside each one of us and just awaits discovery and exploration, the Chennai chapter of Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO) is organizing a Kids’ Conclave aptly titled “Heroism 2016 – Bring out the Hero in You”.
This MyEO event will be hosted at Hotel Hyatt Regency, Chennai from 12th August – 15th August 2016. The conclave is designed in the format of ‘by the children, for the children’ - where under the suitable guidance of adults, the participants will drive the show; all the while learning from each other.
Elaborating the unique nature of the event, Mr. Navneet Agarwal, Chair for the Kids Conclave, EO Chennai says "We are expecting to see young heroes’ participation from 14 different EO chapters from across India. We are excited to welcome the kids and instil the idea of ‘Heroism’ in them. This conclave will help our young heroes discover their real potential and hidden traits which are waiting to be recognized, refined and bettered. In continuance of the EO vision - “To build the world’s most influential community of entrepreneurs”, this conclave will motivate the elder kids to create an executable business plan to evolve into a profitable venture. “We want the young kids to understand that dedication and hard work are just a few vital ingredients that go into the making of a Hero."
The EO conclaves have traditionally been organized for established entrepreneurs and are by far the largest gatherings of highly successful entrepreneurs on one platform for exchanging of views and ideas.
The participants will be divided in two categories. The Organizers will comprise the 8-12 year olds where the youngest Hero will set the pace of camp. They will be given hands-on experiential exposure to activities like photography, creativity and production. The Innovators will be the 13-16 year olds. They will connect to ideate and create a realistic strategical business plan. This plan can go on to be nurtured into an actual for profit venture with the right support.
According to Mr. Vinod Krishnan, President EO Chennai chapter,"Our objective is to enable the participants to use this conclave as a stepping- stone for their future decision making abilities. The role each kid would take up will help them discover and explore what they are good at. It will give them a sense of achievement and confidence.”
From learning through experience, to having fun at carefully thought out themed socials, the Kids’ Conclave promises to be a holistic event offering fun and development - all on the same platform.
