Douar Tech

What is the

Digital Entrepreneurship Bootcamps

From March to June 2021, Douar Tech has supported local associations in the regions of Tangier-Tetouan and Marrakech-Safi through the implementation of three-day Digital Entrepreneurship bootcamps for the benefit of 70 Moroccan and West African migrant youth. In order youth teams in UNICEF’s UPSHIFT program preparing their digital skills and capabilities, Douar Tech’s team designed a curated pedagogy with high-value themes of digital marketing, no-code website creation, and other business-related digital skills. Our curriculum was introduced to ensure that young entrepreneurs may confidently confront the needs of the 21st century economy.

In consequent bootcamps, our team has supported youth from a Second Chance school and Youth Center supporting Migrants to adapt the Digital Entrepreneurship curriculum to include themes of the Lean Business Canva and Design Thinking. Our program is adaptable to audiences and supported with our in-house workbook “The Moroccan Digital Entrepreneur’s Guide” for sustainable, continuous learning experiences.
