Thank you for sharing your change of perceptions about ‘entrepreneurship’ since joining the Prosperity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship MSc programme! Read her story ⬇️⬇️

🦉☄️ I am pretty thankful to Dr Onya 🤍 for always challenging me and trying my best to create my own box rather than to think outside the box, a box that was created by someone else in a different environment, time and approach.

“Entrepreneurship cannot lift poor people out of poverty 😶‍🌫️' -if you believe that entrepreneurship can lift poor people out of poverty, you are living a fairy tale with entrepreneurship.” That was the first of many paradigms 🗝️🦉🧙🏻‍♀️ she broke me on during her classes.

Digital inclusion is a pillar of livelihood security. Read our evaluation report about our project with East End Community Foundation to help address digital exclusion in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

The pilot provided a free broadband connection, digital skills training, and a Google Chromebook across primary schools in Tower Hamlets. One of the findings was that all schools in the pilot felt that the scheme was beneficial and should be rolled out more widely across the Borough.

Meet Adam, Global Prosperity MSc 21/22 graduate. He talks about how his study with the Institute for Global Prosperity influenced his entrepreneurial journey with .official, his sustainable food start-up that aims to "disrupt the environmentally devastating and inefficient markets of traditional livestock and agriculture via the incredible alternative protein source of crickets."

1) RP Duterte: Strangers from all over the world coming together to find prosperity in having a family in a foreign land.

2) Pengbo Li: A constructor going downstairs of the tower crane with the beautiful sunset- he finished the whole day work and began to go home. This photo represents a protest against unbalanced working conditions and an appeal to a healthy and balanced working environment.

3) Judith Castellanos: My Dream Team - Term 2 has begun and we rock and were thankful to Dr Onya for exploring together the non-traditional approaches to build a regenerative entrepreneurial ecosystem embedded with nature.

4) Xuecong Wang: My first Christmas in the UK with my alternative ‘family’- my friends and my partner! When I try to define what does prosperity mean to me, my top answer is ‘A sense of belonging’. I feel belonged when I am with my blood-related family, as well as my alternative ‘family’.

5) Pengbo Li: IGP After class group chat - Most of our students stayed on their group and exchanged their ideas about the prosperity topic. I used the window reflection to illustrate the scene, the outside brick wall fitted in with the group harmoniously.

6) Judith Castellanos: Without Flags - I realized on my first week at PIE that multicultural perspective and diversity are what make the IGP unique and the best place to learn and growth professional and personal.

7) Nyma Haqqani: A city skyline and lush greenery, a prosperous blend of hustle and scenery.

8) Pengbo Li: Taken inside Edinburgh Castle, the photographer creatively captured the sentence to read "Please do not walk in the war." Violets in the background represent “There are always your lovers waiting for your home.” The whole picture represents former-generation-people’s wishes to prosperity, THE BIGGEST PROSPERITY AT THAT TIME SHOULD BE PEACE AND LOVE.
