One such club is the \u201cDream Guide\u201d entrepreneurial club at secondary school No. 1 in Bulgan soum, Khovd province.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The club members are students united by their passion, all of whom graduated from the &#8220;Entrepreneurship-Based Personal Skills Development&#8221; course. The &#8220;Dream Guide&#8221; club consists of 15 members from grades 8-12. The club is led by Kh. Bilegdemberel, with G. Gantogtoh serving as the leader of the management team. The club\u2019s name was chosen by the members to symbolize their commitment to helping their peers achieve their dreams. They meet twice a month, during which time each member presents new ideas, and they discuss them collectively before planning the projects that receive the most support from the group.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18867 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2691.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"861\" height=\"574\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In October 2023, the \u201cDream Guide\u201d club organized an \u201cExperience Exchange Meeting\u201d to showcase the subgrant projects being implemented in the soum. The event was held in collaboration with the \u201cZET\u201d Entrepreneur Club of the \u201cMinjit Bulgan\u201d complex school and Secondary School No. 1, where the students study. During the meeting, teams implementing projects in Bulgan soum shared their knowledge and experiences, presented their project activities to teachers and parents, and served as role models for students working on new project proposals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Club leader Bilegdemberel said, \u201cEvery child has a dream. Don\u2019t give up on your dreams and don\u2019t think you can\u2019t achieve them. Believe in yourself and pursue your dreams without fear of failure. Our main goal is to help, advise, and instill confidence in students who have just completed ESEL training and are uncertain about how to write a project proposal or present their ideas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The club members helped many students develop and present their project proposals, ultimately securing funding. In total, 36 teams in Bulgan soum successfully implemented their subgrant projects with a combined funding of 104.1 million MNT. The \u201cDream Guide\u201d club played a pivotal role in this success by providing support to these teams.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18868 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2685.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"862\" height=\"598\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2685.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2685-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2685-1024x711.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2685-768x533.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 862px) 100vw, 862px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In November 2023, an experience sharing event was organized between two secondary schools in Bulgan soum. The students enjoyed the activity so much that they requested, \u201cPlease organize the experience sharing event again and make it last longer.\u201d The club members shared that the best part was seeing the students actively participate in and enjoy the activities they had initiated.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The major event involving the soum community was a 10-week outreach campaign to promote &#8220;What3Words&#8221; service. Given its long duration, involvement of the entire community, and the need for support from soum authorities, the club members initially felt nervous and hesitant about whether they could successfully implement it.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During the first seven weeks, the club members dedicated a significant amount of time to disseminating information about the &#8220;What3Words&#8221; mobile application service. Following this, they divided their tasks, and with the support of other students who had participated in the ESEL training, the soum and school administration, the Soum Emergency Commission, and the Soum Emergency Management Department, they successfully taught 3,417 citizens\u2014 including secondary school students, teachers, and staff from government and non-government organizations how to use the &#8220;What3Words&#8221; mobile application service.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>By organizing such a variety of activities, the \u201cDream Guide\u201d club gained valuable experience and became more motivated, realizing that by uniting as a team, they could achieve their goals. In the future, they aim to increase their membership, expand their activities, organize innovative events and advocacy campaigns, lead their peers, and make their voices heard in society.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-18869 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2613.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"849\" height=\"445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2613.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2613-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2613-1024x536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/savethechildren.mn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/IMG_2613-768x402.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 849px) 100vw, 849px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of the \u201cEntrepreneurship-Focused Socio-Emotional Skills for the Most Vulnerable Youth in Rural Mongolia\u201d project implemented by Save the Children, 41 entrepreneurial clubs are operating in target soums across five provinces.
