Workshop Description
A Big Enterprise Day gives you the opportunity to create a real “enterprise buzz” by taking up to 300 students from a single year group off timetable for the day as they carousel around a series of very different workshops, all drawn from our stock of tried and tested activities. Designed to be experienced in any sequence, while still providing a coherent insight into our 5Rs Enterprise Framework (Relationships, Resourcefulness, Risk-taking, Resilience and Reflection), a Big Enterprise Day allows you to create your own menu of workshops from:
- Enterprise and Me … enabling students to explore ways in which they currently use enterprise skills - and how that can get better at this ...
- Enterprise by Design … challenging young people to come up with new and unique products - and market them …
- Enterprise in Action … bringing the stock exchange to school as small teams bring their enterprise skills to bear in trading …
- Patterns of Enterprise … promoting the ability to identify, analyse and predict patterns …
- Adventures in Enterprise … challenging students ability to prioritise - then rethink in the light of unexpected events!
All of these activities are also available as stand-alone workshops, to be delivered to a number of groups over the course of a single day and all can be tailored to reflect the Gatsby Benchmarks.
“All who witnessed the level of buzz and atmosphere in the room were simply blown away by the engagement of students, the high energy environment and delighted in watching students find clever and innovative approaches... A superb day was had by all.” Assistant Headteacher, Altwood School

FAQs
Big Enterprise Days offer you a choice of up to 4 workshops, which groups of students ‘carousel’ around throughout the day, with all students taking part in all workshops.
We will work with you to plan the perfect day of activity to suit your requirements. We can be completely flexible to fit around your school timetable or a plan an off-timetable day. Here is an example timetable for a year group of 180 students:
9.00 – 10.30: Group A - The Trading Game…Group B – Enterprise and Me…Group C - The Priorities Game
10.45 – 12.15: Group A - The Priorities Game …Group B - The Trading Game…Group C – Enterprise and Me
1.15 – 2.45: Group A – Enterprise and Me …Group B - The Priorities Game…Group C - The Trading Game
Your visitors will need access to a laptop/ screen/projector in each working space, so that students can view the supporting PowerPoint.
A Big Enterprise Day can all accommodate up-to 60 students. The number of workshops required – and the length of those workshops - depends on the number of students you would like to include:
Up-to 120 students - 2 x half-day workshops
Up-to 180 students - 3 x 90-minute workshops
Up-to 240 students – 4 x 75-minutes workshops
It is possible to accommodate larger numbers of students. If you would like to do this, please get in touch to discuss how this might work.
Each workshop requires a space large enough to accommodate 60 students, such as a hall, drama studio or double classroom. School gyms are not suitable.
