STUdents attend the 2023 Enactus World Cup, Netherlands

 

STUdents involved in Enactus STU recently joined Enactus Canada’s delegation at the 2023 Enactus World Cup in the Netherlands.

 

Enactus Canada, which has chapters in universities across the country, encourages students to join the Canadian delegation to learn about the various entrepreneurial Enactus projects around the world, participate in events around the Sustainable Development Goals, and form lasting connections.

 

Chloe York, Enactus STU’s president and fourth-year International Relations STUdent, and Naomi Lopez, vice-president of projects and fourth-year Economics STUdent, were among the Enactus STU representatives to attend the World Cup.

 

While Enactus STU was cheering on Enactus Laurier, who competed as Team Canada at the international competition, STUdents met others from countries around the world, including Ireland, Tunisia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Zimbabwe, and more.

 

“As a newer Enactus team, it was amazing to learn from other groups and see how we can grow our team and projects,” said York. “Attending the World Cup in the Netherlands was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

 

As well as attending the world cup, STUdents took part in educational activities, including a walking tour of Utrecht.

 

“Traveling with Enactus was an enriching learning experience – learning about the Dutch culture and meeting and connecting with people from all over the world,” said Lopez.
