Personal Initiative II
This is the second week dedicated to Personal Initiatives. Supported by the YIP Organising Team, participants will work to re-ignite their projects while establishing a clear structure and roadmap for the future. The week will follow an ‘open space’ format, providing direct support to those who need it and self-directed time for those ready to activate their ideas.
The Saturday after the course will be spent cleaning and packing, before we transition together to Xi’An on Sunday. Winter Break will begin from Xi’An on Monday 21st.
