The Growing Leaders Foundation will start Building Youth Owned Business (BYOB) classes for the first time in the UAE. The classes are meant for 9 to 15 year olds, and will focus on showing children how to turn their passions into potential businesses.

The BYOB sessions will be held in Dubai, UAE, at the Impact Hub in Souk al Bahar, commencing on May 23, 2015, and held over the next six consecutive Saturdays, from 9am to 12pm.

The Growing Leaders Foundation is a not for profit organization that strives to educate and offer opportunities to youths around the world.

The sessions will focus on teaching the attending youth five key concepts:

-Design Thinking methods, where they learn how to prototype ideas
-Business Canvas Modeling, where they learn to ask questions and analyze ideas
-Presentation Skills, where they learn to confidently pitch their ideas
-Leadership Skills, where they learn how to be proper leaders
-Basic Financial Literacy, where they learn the basics of financial freedom

The sessions will be lead by Sallyan Della Casa from the Growing Leaders Foundation. You can find out more about her by following her Brain Date youtube channel.
