SPEED You UP! | Speed You Up

The SPEED-You-UP project is a set of free curated learning resources and structured lesson plans designed to help young people, whether in education or not, to develop entrepreneurial skills.

The process involves schools, welfare organizations and businesses working together to support young people from within local hubs. There, young people work to build a business pop-up that will improve their neighbourhoods.

We have designed the site to focus the content for four different types of users. Please click to indicate your interest and to access the site.
