how do you get your class of thirty 10 year olds, inspired about enterprise day? the answer is to find a friend who has a chocolate factory and invite her, under strict instructions to come armed with 'samples galore' and ask her to tell chocolate based business stories that will inspire a zest for marketing, making money and life in general!the friend was me and this week i found myself back in a classroom again, not as a drama teacher but an entrepreneur. i was nervous and slightly worried about how i would keep their attention but minutes into the lesson, i realised it was going to be fun!
they were full of questions and enthusiasm. their own product ideas were great and they were eager to learn sales and marketing techniques in order to make the most of enterprise day.
best of all, despite a sample of strawberry flavoured white chocolate, the consensus in the class was that sea salt was our ultimate chocolate, closely followed by lime and black pepper.... hooray for the next adventurous generation of chocolate consumers!!!
