The Social Enterprise Challenge across the Indo-Pacific 2022 was a two-week intensive immersion program that included students across various fields of study united under a singular interest toward Sustainability and Social Enterprise. In just a span of two weeks, participants were expected to identify a problem statement and come up with a viable and working prototype and solution which can help tackle any one of the goals stated in the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals.
In order to accomplish such a tremendous feat while working in teams, each from different time zones, various activities, workshops, and eye-opening lectures were conducted. It was just, hustle, hustle, hustle! There was a lot to get done in not a lot of time. There was no breathing room. Right from the get-go, everyone jumped into getting the work done.
Those 14 days vanished before I could even blink my eyes. My SECIP journey was one crazy rollercoaster ride that taught me so many practical skills that I will carry with me and apply in my life both personal and professional.
