Good Ideas: Class - recruiting now

The Melting Pot

This event is in the past

We are super excited to launch our full Good Ideas programme for 2025! We have 16 fully funded places available for people with good ideas wanting to make a positive change to society, their community or the environment.

The journey of social innovation can be daunting, with the transition from idea to launch often appearing messy and complicated. Good Ideas was born from a deep-seated desire to support individuals in this challenging space, fostering a close-knit community of entrepreneurs at similar stages of development. Together, they learn, grow, and collaborate, nurturing their ideas.

Want to join our 2025 cohort of changemakers?

Do you have the spark of a good idea but not sure how to get it off the ground?

Are you craving headspace and time to work on your idea?

Do you want to make meaningful connections, support others, and be supported by peers on a similar journey?

Are you ready to make change happen?

What to expect

There will be 12 classes, an event showcase of your idea, and a review. Between each module, there’ll also be facilitated problem-solving sessions (likely a mix of online and in-person), for participants to work through any challenges as they develop their ideas.

As a bonus, all Good Ideas participants will be able to cowork at The Melting Pot on Fridays during the course. This offers valuable headspace and time to work on your projects, as well as catch up with class peers.

The four-month course begins Friday 20 June and ends Thursday 25 September. Participants are expected to attend all classes.
