After an eight-month programme of learning, cross-border exchanges, and online mentorship, 14 teams, comprising 27 youths, were reconvened for the Young Social Entrepreneurs Global's Pitching for Change finale, at which they presented their social enterprise ideas virtually to a panel of judges.
These teams - from Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, the Philippines, Singapore, and Uganda - were shortlisted from 54 teams comprising 109 youths who took part in the Singapore International Foundation's 2020 YSE Global programme last July 2020. It was the first time in the 11-year-old programme's history that it was run completely online. India was among the six winning teams.
