This standalone session offers an introduction to social enterprise as a business model, looking at different scenarios involved in running a business and provides young people with the opportunity to reflect upon their own skills and qualities, asking themselves the question, 'Who do I want to be?'
Aims:
This Introduction to Social Enterprise session is a stepping stone onto taking part in Social Enterprise Schools with a group / class of young people. Should teachers wish to take part in Social Enterprise Schools with a group / class of young people, you can do so via DYW Live in January:
Social Enterprise Schools – An 8-week block where learners will develop their own social enterprise, culminating with an online Dragons' Den via DYW Live (January to March).
DYW Context:
Looking at skills and personal qualities, young people have the opportunity to identify what it takes to be a social entrepreneur, make decisions about the running of a social enterprise and then be able to reflect upon their skills and attributes to consider - 'Who do you want to be?'
Through taking part in Social Enterprise Schools, young people through the experience of setting up and running a social enterprise develop key employability and enterprising skills.
Additional Requirements:
Webcam and microphone required for whole class delivery and participation.

Those who set up and run a social enterprise they may be eligible for an Award at our Annual Social Enterprise Academy Awards in June 2023.
