Stand Ideas Collective Programme 2021

April 2021

Ideas Collective

Stand recently opened applications for The Ideas Collective, their part-time social incubator programme for students and recent graduates supporting ideas for social & environmental change. Stand will take participants on a 3-month journey of training, mentorship and coaching to help refine, test, and launch an idea that tackles one (or more) of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. This year, the Ideas Collective 2021 will take place online across 6 weekends during the summer, culminating in a Showcase event at the end of September where students pitch their project to be in with a chance of winning €1000 in seed funding.
