HOW WERE TEAMS FORMED? The teams were formed based on the idea, the backgrounds and interests of the members, and the availability of each member throughout the weekend (two people should be present in the boot camp at all times). Some team members may know each other and have experience, while others are brand new to the concept of social innovation and entrepreneurship. We believe that this is an opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds, of different ages and experiences. So take it easy. Get to know each other. Enjoy the journey through the weekend.
