“What business entrepreneurs are to the economy, social entrepreneurs are to the social change. They are the driven, creative individuals who question the status quo, exploit new opportunities, refuse to give up, and remake the world for the better.”
-David Bornstein
Emphasys Centre participated in the Kick-off meeting of the Erasmus+ KA2 SCHOOL project titled: DESIRE – “Digital Education for Social Innovation Reframed Entrepreneurship”. The meeting was organised between the 21st – 22nd of October 2019, in Ruse Bulgaria, where the overall work plan of the project and the planned activities were discussed and analysed.
The DESIRE project aims to develop an innovative social entrepreneurship curriculum supported by digital learning content to promote the acquisition of social entrepreneurial skills among junior high-school pupils (12-15 yrs). In doing so through the activities the consortium aims to make young students aware of their roles and responsibilities as members of the society, even from an early age.
A big thank you to the hosting organisation and Coordinator RCCI (BG) and the partners, Eurocrea Merchant (IT), IDEC (GR), BABELE (RO), Institut Gabriel Ferrrater i Soler(ES), Open Europe Reus (ES) and First Private School Leonardo da Vinci (BG) for such a great meeting!
