The Emperor's new clothes...

 


Recently I read the story of the Emperor’s new clothes to my kids as they prepared for bed.

 

The background of the story is where two swindlers arrived at the capital city of an emperor who spends lavishly on clothing at the expense of state matters. Posing as cloth makers, they offered to supply him with magnificent clothes that are invisible to only those who are stupid. The emperor hired them, and they went to work. Each time the emperor and his officials visited to check with the progress of these new clothes, the looms were empty but they pretended to avoid being thought stupid. Finally, the weavers reported that the emperor's suit was finished. They pretended dressing him up and he then he sets off in a procession before the whole city. The townspeople uncomfortably went along with the pretense, not wanting to appear stupid. Suddenly a child blurts out – “The Emperor is naked - he is wearing nothing at all”! The people then realized that everyone had been fooled. Although startled, the emperor continued the procession, walking more proudly than ever...

 

It took a child to say it as it is and bring back sanity to a whole city!

 

At the Kidpreneur Klub, beyond teaching kids the basics of entrepreneurship, we teach life skills...We teach them...

  • The Audacity and boldness to speak up
  • The Power of an independent mind
  • The Courage to believe and dream.

For us, Entrepreneurial means...

Positive, Proactive, Seeing solutions to problems...

Confident, Creative, Challenging the norm...

Resourceful, Resilient, taking calculated risks among others...

Helping kids to develop an entrepreneurial mindset means helping them to believe in themselves and to have big dreams for the future - a future with opportunities and possibilities. The earlier these skills are learned, the more they become second-nature.

  " As  skills  and  energy became more  of  a  demand,  people  who  didn't have skills just  got  left  behind,  got  shuttled  to  the  side.  Education  didn't keep  up  with their  promise. Education  didn't  prepare  them  for  this  new  world"  - JULIAN BOND I got a call from someone the other day asking, ‘What exactly is the Kidpreneur Klub’? My immediate inner response was ‘What???... With all these blogs??? 😃😃😃 Today, I thought to break it down a little bit more and buttress with a Kidpreneur’s story...

Hello and welcome back to our blog where we post exciting updates about our kids related programmes.  On Monday the 29th of July, we started our Leadership & Entrepreneurship summer classes for 2023 with  about 30 students in attendance.  As usual, the kids learned the meaning of the word 'Entrepreneur' and the mindset of an Entrepreneur using our all popular acronym E.N.T.R.E.P.R.E.N.E.U.R. We also delved into some leadership tips by analysing and learning from the ants - how they have the following skills such as: Self Management Skills Time Management Skills Organisational Skills Social Skills Stress Management Skills On Tuesday , the kids were taught how to find a business idea for the summer and were put into randomized groups to come up with a business idea together.
