Undergraduate participants from Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia team up with peers from the University of Michigan to practice cross-cultural learning and action. Through custom e-learning modules, teams learn how to identify social challenges and create and present entrepreneurial solutions. Each cohort culminates in a virtual competition, with winning teams convening in Michigan to interact with local entrepreneurs and pitch their projects for feedback and further development.
