“Social innovators are vital to any hopes we have to address the ills of the world. There’s nothing more inspiring than a person with a systemic-changing idea who summons the chutzpah and the courage to thrust it into existence and nurture it for as long as it takes.
But social enterprise is the tool that can move social innovators toward sustainability and self-sufficiency, and it’s time we put aside our warring definitions of “social entrepreneurship” and worked together to create the virtuous circle academics and practitioners alike can covet: Start with practitioners, build theory from their experiences — and create a strategic framework for the next generation of practitioners.“
Jerr Boschee, “Social innovation” and “social enterprise”: A powerful combination, Social Enterprise Reporter
The social sector is where the most immediate and constructive societal change occurs. Politicians are always playing catch up and the idealist without an enterprise to carry their innovations is just a dreamer.
This module grew out of my studies of entrepreneurship and when I realised that if you are a passionate global citizen who is serious about changing the world for the better, then social innovation and social enterprise are going to be two of your best collaborators.
