    The GoYoung Project is an educational tool and documentary film profiling young social entrepreneurs from around the world. GoYoung is originally a project launched by three belgian students who decided to travel the world to shoot a documentary on social entrepreneurs under 30. The 3 co-founders have met and interviewed over 40 young social entrepreneurs who have undertaken amazing projects in their countries. The final product is a dvd featuring 15 creative social businesses. Each video is complemented by a Business Analysis and a Technical Note. The documentary has been sold to over 30 universities around the world including Harvard, Stanford, Oxford, Cornell, Imperial College and many more. The team is now touring around Europe to present its work at various events, conferences, forums and institutions. The GoYoung project is officially endorsed by Ashoka, works in partnership with the Vlerick Business School and the founders have been selected as Global Shapers by the World Economic Forum.
