We started the morning with Sophie Healy Thow, our final guest speaker. Sophie is passionate about creating awareness about food security, particularly amongst young people. Sophie spoke to our Enterprise students about environmental awareness surrounding climate change and agriculture. Follow Sophie on twitter at https://twitter.com/sophiehealythow?lang=en.

The Hincks team would like to thank our sponsors, HEA and CIT’s School of Business, our CIT colleagues, speakers and presenters who gave up their time to make this year’s Enterprise Camp a great success. Thanks to Gate Cinemas Cork who kindly sponsored cinema tickets. A special thanks go to the students themselves who made the week especially enjoyable with their enthusiasm to learn and who presented excellent ideas supporting our four chosen SDG’s - climate change, inequality, humanitarian crisis and sustainable use of the oceans, seas and marine resources.

We would like to wish the very best to all our participants in their future endeavours and we are sure that their ideas will be seen in the not too distant future.
