On behalf of the Department Higher Education and Training (DHET) and Universities South Africa (USAF) in partnership with Sol Plaatje University, we bring you the free hybrid National Launch of Student Entrepreneurship Week (#SEW2021). This year’s SEW will be hosted under the theme of #ReBuilding #AgainstAllOdds with a focus on the existing ecosystem within Kimberley – the Diamond City, the City that Sparkles.

The programme is further inspired around the hashtag #FillUpTheGAP. The aim is to provide guidance for entrepreneurs in pursuing sustainable business opportunities.

When?

The launch will take place from 14 to 16 September 2021 from 09:00-12:00 daily.

Where?

The launch will be broadcasted live from the Sol Plaatje University central campus and live streamed via the EDHE Facebook page. 

To confirm your virtual attendance, please register by visiting the EDHE website: https://edhe.co.za/sew-2021/. Only registered guests will be allowed access onto the virtual platform and be able to participate in the student-focused breakaway sessions and exercises on Zoom.

Who?

Registration for the virtual event is free and open to all students, studentpreneurs, aspiring student entrepreneurs, academics in entrepreneurship, and support professionals assisting entrepreneurship development within their institutions.

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19 health and safety regulations, a limited number of in-person guests will be invited to the live event and they will be requested to confirm their attendance in order to gain access to the event.

As such, we invite you to join us on what promises to be an extraordinary National Launch of #SEW2021!
