The Mountain

The Mountain is an entrepreneurial platform that is located in the heart of nature and is one of the few to utilise a mindfulness approach alongside entrepreneurship development. Together, these aim at the economic independence of the participants. The project philosophy revolves around a psycho-spiritual approach that enables entrepreneurs to discover their real passion and personal traits, and bolsters their belief in the viability of their business ideas. Youth aged 16-29 will participate in mindfulness activities (yoga, meditation and motivational speaking), take part in fun and social events, as well as mentorship, debates, experience sharing and knowledge exchange activities. These will be followed by training in business skills to develop their business ideas and plans, helping them to gain access to finance that will turn their ideas into actual businesses.
The project enables the participants to grapple with, test and adapt creative tools, methodologies and approaches that will help youth to develop themselves and their ideas.
