Abstract: Youths are the future of each community and the future of each country. They don’t only represent the future but they are also the embodiment of hope for the future, they are the key stakeholders in the national development process, so it’s very important to look for the youth issues and solve it. Unemployment is one of the greatest economic challenges facing youth around the world, and in Egypt specifically. It is generally assumed that higher education has a twofold objective: to provide employment opportunities and to create awareness. Both have a shared objective of improving our quality of life. Humanizing education and entrepreneurship skills within the university should be enhanced to retain sustainability and remain relevant for the future aim of the universities. This paper offers validated conceptual Malaysian University-of-the-Future (UotF) business model with focus on international community engagement programmes. The value proposition of the conceptual business model is to enhance the wellbeing of youth in Egypt through humanising digital entrepreneurship education programmes and harnessing on the digital capability. Universities can adapt the conceptual business model in meeting their needs. The design and system thinking approach has been adapted in this paper to address the wellbeing issues of the youth in Egypt, especially educated unemployed and dropout students of higher education, through understanding their need, and then followed by building conceptual business models using modelling tools, i.e. Business model canvas (BMC) and Value proposition design canvas (VPC). The approach includes conducting literature review and interviews for understanding the needs, challenges and key problems; formulating and ideating initial business model options in solving the problems; and validation of the initial business model by interviewing the various customer segments.

Abstract: The objective of the paper is to propose and introduce a system, a mobile application-based platform called "Scan&Go”, enables the user who have problems in paying cash while using vending machines. Furthermore, "Scan&Go" aims to accomplish part of the Sustainable Development Goal 8 i.e. Decent Work and Economic Growth. The system will provide a connecting digital platform between donor & B40 people, where donors will be able to donate directly to the B40 people. The Design Thinking methodology is adapted for this paper which is to understand the key problems, ideation of possible solution options, validation of options by customer segments, and to suggest a conceptual solution. This includes conducting literature review and benchmark, conducting interviews using the business modeling tools i.e. the nine blocks of Business Model Canvas (BMC), Value Proposition Canvas (VPC), Environment Map (EM), and Strategy Canvas. In this paper, also we presented our literature review findings, as well as proposal of Business Model for Scan&Go – in the of Business Model Canvas (BMC), Value Proposition Canvas (VPC), Environment Map, and strategy canvas. Survey with potential customers has been made to validate the initial BMC/VPC. This paper offers a validated conceptual business model of a digital platform/apps, called Scan&Go, with focus on improving the experience of vending machine consumers in making cash-less transactions anywhere anytime for the purchasing of coffee or other convenience goods.

Abstract: A humanized education depends on the teaching of educators to impact, navigate and co-occur within the sociocultural environment and implementation of educators, leaders, students, administration, and community members. Creating beliefs and practices around a humanizing education focuses on the cultural and contextual realisms and understandings of the learner. The motivation of this paper was to scout how educators inspire academic change towards a humanizing education and increase employability opportunities for the youth. Educational atmosphere and teaching methods using digital advancements of IR4.0 are explored in this paper as impacts on the elements for humanizing education. Employability is also a major problem to be resolved for the youth in contemplation on an industrial and economical level. Youth have experienced various scenarios of skills mismatch upon trying to be employed in the current industry. The design and system thinking approach has been adapted in this paper to address the wellbeing issues and promote employability skills trainings for the unemployed youth in India through understanding their need, and then followed by building conceptual business models using modelling tools, i.e. Business model canvas (BMC) and Value proposition design canvas (VPC). The approach includes conducting literature review and interviews for understanding the needs, challenges and key problems; formulating and ideating initial business model options in solving the problems; and validation of the initial business model by interviewing the various customer segments. This paper offers validated conceptual UotF business model with focus on international community engagement for a Malaysian-based UotF. The value proposition of the conceptual business model is to enhance the wellbeing of the youth in India through humanizing educational activities by harnessing the digital possibilities in today’s world.
