Long Roads, Big Rewards: Our Journey to the Enactus Training Weekend in Stuttgart

From October 11th to 13th, the Enactus Braunschweig team traveled to Stuttgart for the annual training weekend, hosted at the Stuttgart Youth Hostel. While the long journey required some effort, the experience was invaluable, reigniting our entrepreneurial spirit and leaving us motivated for the challenges ahead.

The weekend brought together Enactus teams from across Germany, providing a platform for knowledge sharing, networking, and skill-building. Packed with workshops, the event helped us strengthen our entrepreneurial and leadership skills, while pushing our projects to the next level. Highlights from the Weekend

• Friday: The weekend began with sessions on startup ideas and branding, exploring creative ways to shape project identities and transform innovative concepts into impactful brands.

• Saturday Morning: A workshop on design thinking challenged us to approach problem-solving in new ways, while leadership sessions focused on team management, collaboration, and communication—key skills for Enactus members.

• Saturday Afternoon: We learned how to turn ideas into reality, with hands-on strategies to plan and execute projects successfully.

• Sunday: The weekend wrapped up with feedback and project pitches, where teams presented their ideas, refined their projects with constructive input, and celebrated the creativity within the Enactus community.

A Journey to Remember

Although the long trip from Braunschweig to Stuttgart tested our endurance, it also strengthened our bond as a team. Traveling together gave us time to reflect on our goals, share ideas, and build deeper connections. By the end of the weekend, we were energized and equipped with new knowledge to bring back to Braunschweig.

This weekend wasn’t just about workshops—it was a powerful reminder of the importance of community and the collective impact we can have. We returned home with renewed inspiration and fresh perspectives for our projects.

A huge thank you to all the teams and organizers for making this weekend such a memorable and transformative experience. We’re excited to apply what we’ve learned and take our projects to new heights. 🚀
