University of Cape Town (UCT) students are invited to apply for The Everyday Entrepreneur – a three-day, face-to-face programme at the Hasso Plattner School of Design Thinking Afrika (d-school Afrika), which will run from 11 to 13 May 2026, at no cost.

The programme reframes entrepreneurship as a life skill: building creativity, adaptability, and purpose through hands-on challenges, reflective practice, and collaboration with peers.

Participants will learn practical tools to turn uncertainty into opportunity and move from ideas to action – academically, personally, and professionally.
