How to engage youth in social business?
For the EU program Erasmus Plus we developed in cooperation with NVO Avilys, Gerinorai, Not Perfect Riga and Red Ochrea a social business accelerator program with the aim to give millennials access to a network of like-minded individuals and share state of the art tools and strategies concerning social entrepreneurship. Social business camps, festivals and networking events helped the participants to expand their network and learn about methods and shortcuts on startups joyfully and experientially.
To guide the participants’ through all the different stages of their social business venture, we developed tools such as a social business logbook based on the Grameen principles of social business, design thinking, and the lean startup methodology.
