Nurturing Entrepreneurial Spirit: FLAG’s Initiatives in Developing Young Innovators

With today’s rapidly moving world, it has become more important than ever for students to develop an entrepreneurial spirit.

In Fazlani L’Académie Globale (FLAG) we believe that opening young minds to skills and thinking patterns which allow them to exist in a competitive environment is enriching.

Both our comprehensive entrepreneurship programs and workshops are meant to help our students develop innovation and creativity to deal with future problems.

FLAG’s Entrepreneurship Programs & Workshops

Many of our Mumbai based programs at Fazlani School Mumbai are designed to encourage healthy entrepreneurial habits. Some of the initiatives are hands on workshops, mentorships and collaborative projects that are geared towards encouraging students to think more critically and more creatively. 

Our curriculum blends real world business scenarios that students can engage in problem solving exercises, reflecting the reality of what it means to be an entrepreneur, through it.  We have a flagship program of the Young Innovators Workshop where student teams develop their own business ideas. Market research, product development and pitching concepts to potential investors are what they do.

Moreover, the combination of both practical approaches is also not only widening their entrepreneurship knowledge but also growing the needed softs skills (teamwork, communication and resilience).

Early Entrepreneurial Training Benefits

The introduction of entrepreneurial training at a young age has big benefits. Studies have found that students exposed to entrepreneurship education develop greater self-confidence, and stronger problem-solving skills.

Adopting a less rigid approach to life and how they see future jobs is necessary, and learning to understand failure as a means to an end — rather than a complete blow to their ‘success’ — is crucial today.

Furthermore, exposure to entrepreneurship early has a spillover to creativity and innovation. Participation in FLAG programs often increases students’ ability to think critically and be more willing to take risks in ways essential to success in any field.

For this reason, we engage in nurturing these traits, which may not only train our students into becoming ventures men in their careers but also fill them with knowledge of what it takes to become a leader in any industry.

From Student Led Startups to Innovative Projects

The success stories of our students testify to our commitment to creating an entrepreneurial spirit. There are many people who launched their own startups while still in school, albeit presented their ideas and determination.

For example, earlier this year a group of students created an eco-friendly product line to reduce plastic waste. Not only did their project secure recognition at various competitions, but also their work brought the conversation of sustainability to the community of the school.

This provides testament to the success of our entrepreneurship programs. We give students the resources and the support they need to bring their ideas to life. They get a taste of what it takes to be successful marathoners from this hands-on experience.

We believe that mentorship goes a long way in growing future young innovators. From our faculties you will hear the wealth of knowledge and experience from several different industries that bridges that gap between theory and practice. We also invite industry mentors to share their experiences by conducting workshops and seminars which help bring students together in real life as well.

In addition to making learning experience richer these interactions encourage students to take up their entrepreneurial journeys with courage. Whether or not you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, our mentors help with navigating challenges, refining business ideas, and understanding market dynamics, all of which are key to succeeding as an entrepreneur.

Lesson from FLAG’s Curriculum Design

Fazlani recognizes the importance of entrepreneurship education and has woven these skills into the whole of its curriculum design. Students of all majors can benefit from entrepreneurial training, and we make sure everyone gets access. Through this holistic lens we are able to build an environment of innovation within all disciplines.

Entrepreneurship can be implemented in subjects such as Science, Mathematics and Humanities such that students can creatively apply their knowledge. Projects on real world sustainable science, for instance, can be developed by science classes and hypothetical mathematical lessons can include exercises for budgeting the hypothetical businesses.

Conclusion

Fazlani La’ Académie Globale comes out on top in terms of the best of the international schools in Mumbai, given that it focuses on developing its students with an entrepreneurial spirit. We take all this initiative to train young innovators with the most comprehensive programs, practical experience, and expert mentorship to produce quality innovators.

Being one of the top IB schools in Mumbai, FLAG endeavours to instil in these future leaders, not just the abilities to be successful in academics, but also with the ability to run as successful entrepreneurs. We create a brighter tomorrow by holding our students ready for the future, today.
