Nikoladze Academy 2.0
Nikoladze Academy 2.0 - Four days full of inspiration, ideas and discoveries!
Progress, innovation, education, entrepreneurship, European values - this is the legacy of Niko Nikoladze, on the basis of which the Nikoladze Academy was created.
During the four days of interactive sessions and experiments, teenagers at the camp worked on skills such as: communication, creative and critical thinking, adaptation and decision-making, economic logic and entrepreneurship.
The main speaker of the camp is financier Giorgi Kadagidze, who introduced the youth to the history of the economic development of humanity: from the agricultural era to the turning point of industrialization, and finally to the modern service-based economy in which we live today.
Giorgi not only showed the participants the economic transformations of the past, but also encouraged them to see their own place in this constantly changing and globalized reality.
On the third day, the camp participants first surveyed the needs and then, in response to them, created, packaged and launched products such as “Dream Camcorder”, “Innocence Soap”, “Mood Jacket”, “Restless Chair”, “Memory Pen”, “Bird Talk Translator” for sale at the imaginary market.
One of the most exciting things at Nikoladze Camp is the “Paper clip Experiment”.
We divided the participants into teams, gave each team a simple paper clip and set a task: to go out into the street, contact complete strangers, work on negotiation, communication and creativity skills and gradually exchange the strap for more and more valuable items.
In the end, the teams brought back items that represented more than material value - a symbol of the courage, creativity and perseverance that are crucial on the path of a modern entrepreneur.
The Paper clip experiment shows that when you believe in your idea and act, you will always find a way - often in the most unexpected people and places.
The camp symbolically ended at the Niko Nikoladze House Museum, where the young people experienced his era and ideas firsthand.
Thank you to each participant, trainer, guest and supporter.
This camp has ended, but Nikoladze's path continues - in the visions and steps of young people.
