On 31 October 2024, Young Change Agents, in collaboration with Cressy District High School, Launceston College, and the Tasmania Principals Association will bring together entrepreneurial educators and leaders from across Australia and globally to Launceston, Tasmania for 3 days to connect, network and find ways to collaborate moving forward.

Launceston is no stranger to innovation, often referred to as a ‘city of firsts’, and in 2021, it was named by UNESCO as a City of Gastronomy. This year’s Unconference is kindly hosted by the new University of Tasmania, Inveresk Campus in Launceston.

The event will bring together industry, educators, school leaders, and government to share knowledge, expertise, experience, and stories of introducing, embedding, and celebrating entrepreneurial education in their schools and communities.

In 2024, the winners of our 4 Global Entrepreneurial Education Scholarships will also be joining us. They will share their experiences and expertise in Entrepreneurial Education in their country's region, adding a global flare to this year's unconference, U.S.A., Panama, New Zealand and Ghana.

These discussions and insights will be incorporated into our learning about place-based entrepreneurial education around the 4 themes of:
