PROJECT OFFER · CAPE TOWN 2027
Thank you for your interest in collaborating with Kaospilot students during our Cape Town Outpost from February to April 2027.
We are looking for real projects and challenges that can become meaningful learning and collaboration opportunities for groups of 5-6 students. A good Outpost project has a clear challenge or opportunity, but not a predetermined answer.
Students need room to explore the context, engage relevant stakeholders, question assumptions, reframe the challenge where useful, develop their own approaches, prototype possibilities and contribute something meaningful. Clear enough to enter. Open enough to explore. Real enough to matter. Possible enough to act on.
Students will contribute up to 20h/week (3 days a week) to support your project for 6 weeks in the project period mid January to end of April.
A person from the your organisation needs to have the availability to accompany, engage and work with the students for at least 5h a week during the project period. Deadline for offering projects is 8th Jan 12:00 CET/noon.
This form takes approximately 15–20 minutes. Completing this does not mean that the project has been selected. Rather, it means that the project will be included in the pool of potential projects. Once groups have been formed based on students’ project interests, you will be informed of the final selection.
✓ There is a real challenge or opportunity; not simply a list of tasks.
✓ The challenge is clear, but the answer is not.
✓ Students can access the people, context and perspectives around it.
✓ There is room to be creative, experiment, prototype, test or implement.
✓ There is a committed project owner who can accompany the students.
✓ The work could create meaningful value.
We welcome complexity. We do not expect you to have the answer. But the students should not have to spend the project time discovering whether there is a project.
