What is entrepreneurship?
It’s not just about business – it’s about building curiosity, resilience, creativity, and confidence. And Entrepreneurship Week at Citizens is proving just how capable young minds can be, when given the space to try, fail, and grow. 🌱

Entrepreneurship isn’t about job titles or business pitches — it’s about mindset, curiosity, and real-world skills.
At Citizens, we don’t teach entrepreneurship as a standalone subject. We shape entrepreneurs through meaningful learning experiences that encourage initiative, resilience, and real-world impact.
Whether it’s identifying opportunities or taking calculated risks, our learners practise entrepreneurial thinking every day — building the confidence and life skills they need to thrive in a fast-changing world.
ريادة الأعمال ليست منصبًا وظيفيًا ولا عرضًا تجاريًا — إنها عقلية وفضول ومهارات واقعية.
في سيتزنز، نحن لا ندرّس ريادة الأعمال كمادة منفصلة، بل نصنع روّاد أعمال من خلال تجارب تعلم هادفة تشجّع على المبادرة، والمرونة، وصناعة تأثير حقيقي.
سواء كان الأمر تحديد الفرص أو اتخاذ المخاطر المحسوبة، يمارس طلابنا التفكير الريادي يوميًا — ليبنوا الثقة والمهارات الحياتية التي يحتاجونها للنجاح في عالم سريع التغير.

5. Fareeha Nadkar, Director of Learning & Quality Assurance, joined the Safeguarding in Education panel, talking about creating safe, supportive environments — both in person or online.
