The field note
Design practice becomes more valuable when it leaves the studio and enters the communities it is meant to serve.
Knowledge in motion
An inclusive platform helping young people turn social ideas into practical ventures.
The program aims to provide a direct contribution to the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Pakistan by creating an all-inclusive platform for youth from varying socioeconomic backgrounds. I have worked with different IT companies and institutions for conducting training and mentorship sessions, But the experience with Seed Ventures has been a pleasant one and of course, my favorite, because this time I was given the opportunity to mentor the budding minds of School.
It was a 6 months mentorship and training program, where I mentored high school kids to work on non-profit ideas. My team worked on recycling the paper and they created tote bags. And my team was one of the semi-finalists.
