Enactus UK x Ford C3: Partner Competition 2024
The purpose of Ford C3 is to challenge Enactus Teams to partner with their local communities to design innovative, student-led projects that address critical community needs. The overarching theme of the Ford C3 is “Building Sustainable Communities.” The Ford C3 mobilizes Enactus teams to empower communities by addressing a critical community need. Enactus teams should design and develop projects that address critical community needs in new ways, with a focus on helping the community become a more sustainable place to work and live. The term “Sustainable Communities” is not meant to be restricted to environmental concerns. Instead, it is used to describe healthy, livable communities that are poised to thrive in a global economy.
Enactus teams’ Ford C3 projects will include the following elements:
Create an innovative approach to building sustainable communities, changing the way people move through smart mobility, or driving social mobility
Involve students in a leadership role
Address urgent and unmet community needs in a tangible way
Involve a community-based organization as a partner
Generate and document measurable outputs and outcomes to demonstrate how the project improves livelihoods
Potential focus areas for projects could include but are not limited to: Driving Social Mobility, Education and Training, Safety, Economic Development, Sustainable Urban Design, Smart Mobility and Environmental Sustainability.
The Ford C3 Competition is open to all Enactus teams to apply for grants.
