What is social entrepreneurship?
Social entrepreneurship (or innovation) is described by author and practitioner Al Etmanski as "the latest descriptor of the ageless human pursuit to make the world a better place. It is a bundle of new learning, technologies and methods blended with the best traditional approaches to social change".
What do we mean by resilience?
Resilience is the capacity of a system to strengthen when confronted with a challenge. We see social entrepreneurship as a way of creating a more resilient world by tackling unique social and ecological challenges
