1What is an entreprenuer?

At ENYA we thing that there are many (differing) definitions! Some people believe it is anyone who has started their own business; other believe that business has to be original and unique; and other people may argue that being an entrepreneur is simply being enterprising. To ENYA, being an entrepreneur is having “ownership” over a business or social enterprise

4How do I start a Project?

Have you got a great idea that would benefit other young people in enterprise? If so, you could (individually or as a team) start your own ENYA project. We’ll support you with some of the resources you need, like a project page, some funding and assistance with promotion. Think up an idea, and put together a basic costing (budget), timeline and resource list. Email your idea to ENYA and we�ll assess its viability and work with you to develop it into a project.
