LAUNCH
(Part of the Tasmanian Disability Innovator Hub)
LAUNCH is a workshop series that empowers employees within the Tasmanian Disability Sector to unlock their capacity to lead change, drive innovation and foster entrepreneurial opportunities for those around them.
LAUNCH is not just a series of passive presentations – participants will actively develop and create projects to lead change in their own organisations and for those around them, actively developing entrepreneurial capacity that can activate long term change. Through building these projects, you will learn more about creative approaches to problem solving, designing with users in mind, financial management and much more!
Delivered by Tasmanian innovator Adam Mostogl (2015 Finalist for Young Australian of the Year & 2017 Anthill’s 30Under30 for Australian Entrepreneurs), there will also be plenty of opportunities to share, collaborate and learn about how innovation is driving impact and change around the world – and how you can develop this in your own organisation and with those you actively support.
And because of the support through the Tasmanian Disability Innovator Hub- LAUNCH is free to register for, for all Tasmanians who work in the disability sector.
