THE PROGRAM
The 2023 Pangaea X programme’s dual focus on innovation and personal development has notably impacted its participants and teams. One key aspect was ensuring the clarity and elevation of ideas for the 10 teams involved. This involved assessing market viability, exploring feasibility, and advancing their concepts. To accelerate these projects effectively, the “viaparkour” approach, developed by co-design it, was implemented. This method allows teams to activate “cards” based on their needs and progress stage. Ten exceptional coaches then facilitate the use of these cards during dedicated sessions.
The second major objective was personal development, aimed at nurturing these young individuals into meaningful leaders. This growth was fostered through a balance of seriousness and a positive atmosphere. Techniques included collaboration exercises, introspection, self-improvement, and even physical activities. This holistic approach aimed to energize individuals and teams alike, promoting both personal and collective growth.
