Citrus Saturday
Citrus Saturday is an international experiential learning programme developed by UCL Advances, the centre for entrepreneurship and business interaction at University College London, aimed at teaching entrepreneurship and enterprise skills to young people around the world by giving them the opportunity to set up a one-day lemonade business and make profit for themselves. The program has developed the Citrus Saturday toolkit, used by groups that work with young people, providing guides, videos and other resources to enable participants to experience business at first-hand.
