‘’ Step by step we rise up 
‘’
Darja Darja for Youth Entrepreneurship we aim to develop an inclusive program for a new generation of teen entrepreneurs who are driven by social concerns.
This mini-program hosted by Hive12 can be scaled in different co-working spaces in Tunisia and MENA region.
This project relies on five sessions :
⦁ First Darja : Design Thinking for sustainable environmental projects
⦁ Second Darja : Social project in the age of IA
⦁ Third Darja : Pitch your idea: Talk Loud!
⦁ Fourth Darja : Sales and marketing: Negotiate like a pro!
⦁ Fifth Darja : Fundraising: Take it to the next level!
After going through our first training especially design thinking the participant will be able to have a better vision of what he wants to do and can decide which idea he will work on. Depending on that we will create specific labs according to their needs: it can be a coding lab, chemistry class, robotics training…
Thanks to our program, the young actor in our region will no longer have any difficulty in undertaking or building their own project because they will develop the most important skills and tools to the establishment of their ideas.
Our objective in 2020 is organizing a hackathon where we gather all the participants so that they will be supported by our mentors to start prototyping and make it real based on what they have learned during Darja Darja program after that they will pitch in front of juries.
The winner will win 6 months of incubation in our coworking space and for the other participants, they will be mentored by our experts to help them take their ideas to the next level. Knowing that our upcoming programs will be based on the needs of each participant and the challenges that he may face during the journey so that we can provide a specific training to help them prototype.

Fourth Darja: Sales and marketing: Negotiate like a pro!
Topic: The purpose of the training is to make young people between 16 and 20 years old familiar with entrepreneurial basics. The point is to facilitate those theories and present them in a funny and smooth way to make them attracted to the field. For this reason, we will make sure that they prepare homemade products and to teach them how to sell them to their classmates and school teachers.
Date of the event: Not defined
Duration: 4 to 6 hours
Content of the training: To be an excellent salesperson, one has to master the ability to listen to his or her customers. They will be taught how to express their thoughts crisply and clearly instead of just blabbering whatever comes in their mind. Great salesperson’s assets include a thorough and convincing speech.
In addition to that, no successful salesperson simply stayed at the back of the room, cowering, and just blending in the background. Salespersons talk to people, especially to potential customers. As such, they need to have self-confidence. It is an important trait for both kids and adults. So this evening will be oriented to encourage high school teens on whatever they like to do. That will help them believe in themselves and foster their self-confidence.
And to come to the most important point, success in sales comes as a by-product of providing customers what they need, something of value to them. Everyone likes people who bring value to their lives and not just those who just want to sell and earn money. We will Teach those teens the value of giving value to customers first. After all, the repeat customers make a salesperson even more successful.
