HSBC Green Skills Innovation Challenge
We are happy to inform you that HSBC in partnership with Ashoka (international organisation that promotes social entrepreneurship) has come up with an amazing initiative promoting innovation for a greener environment in Armenia.
This first of its kind Green Skills Innovation Challenge is open to social entrepreneurs across 51 countries including Armenia. It will award 15 social entrepreneurs with a cash prize of up to $20,000. In addition, the winners will have the opportunity to be mentored by experts of HSBC and Ashoka on how to scale their innovation.
HSBC and Ashoka are searching for changemakers that:
· help those previously excluded from economic opportunity to gain the skills needed to find employment in growth sectors of the Green Economy
· help communities currently entrenched in environmentally harmful jobs transition to green jobs
· find innovative ways to prepare young people to find careers in, and ultimately become leaders of the green economy
To spread the word among respective social entrepreneurs we would appreciate very much if you can share the news among your networks to increase the reach and participation in the contest and make the environment in Armenia greener and cleaner.
Kindly see attached the media release for more information about the contest.
Kind regards,
