Social Entrepreneurship:
Social entrepreneurship is the attempt to draw upon business techniques and private sector approaches to find solutions to social, cultural or environmental problems. This concept may be applied to a variety of organizations with different sizes, aims, and beliefs. Conventional entrepreneurs typically measure performance in profit, revenues and increases in stock prices, but social entrepreneurs also take into account a positive “return to society”. Social entrepreneurship typically attempts to further broad social, cultural, and environmental goals often associated with the voluntary sector.
Learning Objectives:
- Instill, develop and expose to social entrepreneur mindset and skills;
- Promote project based learning to cultivate leadership and teamwork among participants;
- Exposing to project organization, market research, product/solution development and marketing process;
- Nurture the philanthropy mindset in our future generation
Proposed Approach:
- Participants would be divided into smaller groups of 5-7 person
- Facilitator will brief the purpose and display relevant materials for each class
- Participants to discuss among the group, all participants must be involved
- Facilitator to facilitate the discussion of each group , to provide guidance where appropriate
- All proceeds raised would be channeled to charity / social purposes
