Zarika participated in a capacity-building activity with multiple stakeholders, from university teachers and academics to NGO leaders and students. It was a day of intense discussions and workshops on social entrepreneurship education and its challenges in Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Denmark, and the Czech Republic.
The activity was organized by Aurora University Network, an alliance building connections between universities from all over the world.
Key takeaways from the event
- Development of social entrepreneurship is an activity requiring engagement from various stakeholders and institutions.
- Social entrepreneurship requires overcoming far more obstacles than traditional entrepreneurship.
- Social entrepreneurship requires a broader skill set and mindset.
- A most critical skill for the future is navigating the unknown, because change is becoming constant; what we consider most valuable to teach today might be irrelevant in five years.
- A shift is happening in society, and university students undertaking sustainability projects are not asking “What’s in it for me?” but “What’s in it for society?”
Stay tuned for valuable tools and more insights; we will be sharing them soon.
