Over the years students from Chalmers School of Entrepreneurship and the School of Intellectual Capital Management have conducted several projects all around the globe. In the year of 2009, the Seaweed Center Project was founded by the students of CSE'10. Since January 2010 the students of ICM'11 will take over the task of further develop the project. This blog has the purpose of giving you the opportunity to follow the development of the project.

Sunday 28th – Various activities

Today we got back to business again. We had divided ourselves into different groups to take care of different activities. Mikael, Gustav and Rizwan were in-charge of building a prototype to dry seaweed.



Annelie and Jonas looked into obtaining the ingredients for making soap. Arta, Erik G, Daniel and Annika looked into the organizational structure of the Seaweed Center.

Bethan, Lai Kim and Andreas had an inspiring meeting with local women to discuss a visit to their homes the following day. As none of them spoke English, we had local friend Abel to translate. The women really liked the idea of having Seaweed Center in the village and they felt that it would change their lives for the better.

In the evening, Markus and Jan gave a pitch to the students at the Zanzibar Adventure School about our project to see if they could help us out with e.g. painting the Seaweed Center or planting trees and plants around the facility. Initial feedback is promising and seemed that the students were fired up.
Also, a piece of good news and a reason to celebrate – soap machines are soon ready and will be transported to Paje any day now!
