Winter Social Entrepreneurs Academy 2022 – Review

❄️ The Winter Social Entrepreneurs Academy of our #ThinkSocial project has taken place at Europäische Jugendbildungs- und Jugendbegegnungsstätte Weimar – EJBW this week!

? As a key part of the Think Social – Promoting Social Entrepreneurial Mindsets cooperation, we are bringing together 18 migrant social entrepreneurs from ???????????? to learn from each other in a peer-to-peer, non-formal education environment.

? We are exploring through NFE how gender, migration and sustainability can be integrated into social entrepreneurship, to help unlock the potential of SE as a tool for social action.

? We supported learning with study visits to Gründer Werkstatt Neudeli, Other Music Academy, Zusammen Lernen Arabic School, local artists, a tour from @decolonizeweimar, @dostlarerfurt, @projects_forabetterfuture and @ejbw_stiftung

✨ After this mobility, participants will continue to work with our partners to develop their social enterprises, and our consortium, having further tested our learning materials, will finalise our modules and e-Learning platform.

?? This project is funded by the National Agency for Adult Education in Germany, as a cooperation partnership between

From the CGE hosting side, the Academy organisers team was supported by the European Solidarity Corps volunteers, Carla Molteni, Vladislav Artiukhov and Telma Roque. All of them had a chance to co-facilitate a session and support the study visits. A huge thank you goes to them for their hard work! 👏🏼
