Here at Barefoot in Business we’re on a mission to empower our fellow female entrepreneurs in Uganda and inspire the next generation here in the UK. We’ve teamed up with some of Britain’s top women in business to create a free, virtual masterclass series for schools that trains pupils in the basics of business and enables them to curate and sell their very own tote bag collection made by our talented team of tailors in Uganda.
This is a free program for schools funded through Barefoot in Business bag sales and sponsorship from individuals and organisations who share our passion for education and equality. Once you sign up, we’ll match-make you with a sponsor in your local area and tailor the program to your school’s individual priorities and schedule.
We run the program throughout the year and provide you with all the necessary resources to deliver the 8 x 1 hour sessions at a time and pace that suits you best. This a cross-curricular project that covers everything from numeracy to critical thinking, career guidance to ICT - all the while helping increase confidence and providing pupils with a unique insight into the world of work. It can be delivered as an in-class activity for the whole class or an after-school group for specially selected students - it’s entirely up to you.
