Project Summary:

The involvement in Social Entrepreneurship (SE) is at a low level with less than 1% of the business population undertaking such activities. In order to boost social entrepreneurship an education programme developed collaboratively with companies is needed.

The objective of the project is to innovate aligned professional, higher education in social entrepreneurship in Degree Programmes in four CB area countries. We will develop entrepreneurship education, as well as create SE training for companies' continuing education. The aim is to strengthen the role of social entrepreneurship within the CB area in the long run by developing an in-depth understanding of the state-of-the art of SE via company surveys: know-how of challenges and needs of SE in CB area.

As a result, the project will innovate SE learning materials: it will provide a new theory of SE and practical case studies aimed at ensuring the alignment of the curricula with society, and will develop a training module for companies.
