Designed for individuals aged 13 to 35, the programme equips participants with essential technical skills while fostering critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork. By bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, it nurtures creativity and innovation. The structured curriculum comprises two modules, each containing five units, ensuring a comprehensive and engaging learning experience.

Through a well-designed curriculum, the programme empowers young people with the knowledge to think critically, solve problems, and engage in responsible digital citizenship.
LITTLE SHOP OF PHYSICS
The Little Shop of Physics (LSOP) programme is designed to break down traditional barriers to learning physics in schools. Through an interactive, exploratory, and hands-on approach, participants engage with real-world physics concepts such as magnetism, force, and energy.
This creative methodology allows learners to discover how everyday objects can be utilised to build and explore scientific principles. Open to individuals aged 13 to 18, the programme expands access to STEM education, inspiring young Namibians to explore their potential in physics.
ENTRENEURSHIP
The #BeFree Entrepreneurship Programme equips individuals aged 13 to 35, particularly out-of-school youth and individuals from the disability community, with the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to establish and manage their own businesses. The programme is structured into three key stages:
Stage 1: Ideation – Identifying and validating viable business ideas.

By fostering innovation, resilience, and self-reliance, this initiative empowers participants to contribute meaningfully to their communities and the broader economy.
