吃瓜tv

The CCDS invites 吃瓜tv students to develop public interests projects supervised by the Center鈥檚 Fellows that will participate in the听, a student competition organized by the Tocqueville Foundation:

鈥淭he Challenge's objectives are to harness the desire for engagement and the connected nature of the Millennial generation in order to inspire passion for the field by providing hands-on opportunities to explore and design viable solutions to specific societal challenges. With co-construction at its heart this program focuses on the collective thinking and the added value to craft a project with multiple stakeholders and points of view.

The Tocqueville Challenge brings together 3 key-components of civil society:听students, mentors from the business world and associations, with the purpose of giving life to innovative projects. Each team of 3 to 6 students will choose a cause or an NGO and develop a concrete solution (e.g. develop a business plan, a new program, refine a communication strategy) with the help of their mentor.

This experience will allow them to work in contact with several types of actors, develop their professional soft and hard skills, and the winning teams will receive a financial prize to implement their project the year following the Challenge.鈥�

In previous years, the projects that participated in the Challenge were conceived and developed in the听D.Lab courses听run by the Center鈥檚 Fellows
