“TURBO: Educational Program for the Development of Small and Medium-Sized Businesses” in Action. Social Entrepreneurship: From Idea to Mission
We continue to share updates on the implementation of the microcredit educational program for retraining and social adaptation of internally displaced persons (IDPs) within the project “The Universities’ Reaction to Big Obstructions: Building resilient higher education to respond and manage societal crises (TURBO).”
On April 3, as part of the module “Social Entrepreneurship,” a training session “Value Foundations of Social Entrepreneurship” was held, led by Nadiia Nahorna, PhD in Psychology, Associate Professor, Dean of the Faculty of Social Technologies, Health and Rehabilitation.
The training focused on shaping the fundamental elements of social entrepreneurship. Participants worked on developing ideas for their own social enterprises, formulating missions, and identifying the social problems they aim to address through their activities. The session included stages of analyzing business values, as well as an initial study of the target audience and potential social impact.
This session became an important starting point for further developing social enterprise business models, taking into account both financial sustainability and societal impact.
