Critical Thinking
Lewisham Council is considering a youth enterprise hub to foster entrepreneurial skills, which involve critical thinking, among young people.
Lewisham's Young Mayor, Shane Grant, proposed a Lewisham Youth Enterprise Hub in March 2026, aiming to foster entrepreneurial skills among young people aged 14 to 21, or up to 25 for those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). This initiative, which requires critical thinking for problem-solving and decision-making, was presented at a Mayor and Cabinet meeting.
The proposed hub, with a budget of £25,000, would offer start-up grants, co-working spaces, mentoring, and workshops on business planning, marketing, and finance. No further council meetings or decisions specifically on the topic of critical thinking or this proposal have been announced.
