This is a non-formal educational program about Social Entrepreneurship. It is divided into three theoretical parts. The first explains what social entrepreneurship is and how it differs from typical business enterprises. The second part is a discussion of the use of the Social Business Model Canvas (SBMC – The Social Business Model Canvas is inspired by the Business Model Canvas and created by the Social Innovation Lab) and includes a practical exercise on how to use it and why it is so important and helpful. The third is further work on the Social Business Model Canvas, based on specific examples.

Our program was built to be easy to use both in the school environment and outside, during non-formal educational workshops. Be aware that those two lessons shouldn’t be set too far apart; the theory part must still be fresh in participants’ minds when they start the practical part.
