About

This is a one-week school during which students will learn how to develop their own social start-up. The course is going to be hands-on as students are going to actually develop a social business in the area of global health, which they have to present by pitching it in the end of the week.

Objectives

In the Social Entrepreneurship 4 Health Course, participants will:

  • Understand problems of Global Health
  • Acquire tools and methodologies to entrepreneurially solve a challenge and apply them to social start-ups (Impact Assessment, Business Model Canvas)
  • Develop own ideas and create a business model
  • Analyze and create impact
  • Get to know and learn from two social startups

The course will be a challenge as you will need to dedicate your time during this week to the course (see programme). Therefore, challenge yourself, create something new and – last but not least – have fun co-creating!
