The programme brings together virtually, young innovative and creative minds to ideate, problem-solve, co-design and develop new solutions for the future work and for social activism causes. The projects are short-term and fit around busy work and school schedules. Participants can be based anywhere in the world.

• Co-create a new consumer health snack.
