This event is part of the launch of the *NEW* Zinc Academy, kicking off in early 2020, with the mission of Mental Health.
The Zinc Academy will unlock and accelerate the personal impact of those individuals who want to contribute other system-level solutions to Zinc’s missions, beyond start-ups. It’s a place for changemakers and people who want to hack the world, for good. Because Zinc believes if exposed to the right people, the right domain content, the right fuel and the right individual game plan - big change can happen in the missions that matter.
During our 9 month part-time programme, you’ll be exposed to the best in mental health learning and expertise, meet a powerful network of speakers and Fellows, be connected to unique placements and a portfolio of mental health start-ups, and meet a cohort of students who want to see change as much as you do.
