The Challenge Concept

Join this special edition of the Global Educator Challenge! For the first time ever, we’ll be combining it with the Global Trainer Challenge. Therefore, this year, you’ll not only compete against educators but also professional trainers from all around the world! You can be the captain of your own team with your colleagues or peers. Challenge them in the field of sustainability as this year’s theme is “Creating a Sustainable Business by juggling the 3P’s and the SDG’s”.

You must have only one educator certified in any of Inchainge’s business games per team. A team should consist of at least four educators.

Are you currently part of our certification process? Instead of the practice rounds after following one of our Train the Trainer (live or self-paced), you can participate in this challenge.

About the Challenge

The Global Educator Challenge starts on November 8^th, and it takes place fully online.

The challenge will cover our learning solution: Sustainable Business powered by The Triple Connection. This solution covers everything in creating a sustainable supply chain. For three weeks, participants will play six rounds in teams of four (maximum five). Participants get to run their own virtual company: a virtual chocolate milk manufacturer. They will be compelled to make decisions that are critical to maintaining a fair balance between profitability and sustainability. To add the flair of a real-world experience, the challenge comes with the added element of a limited budget!
