Devoted to Social entrepreneurship and Mentoring
About
There is a world-wide movement where businesses and individuals aim at changing the world for the better. Attention for innovative enterprises that have a primary social mission is growing. These so-called social enterprises do not aim for financial gain in the first place but for having a meaningful activity; just like young adults who increasingly express the wish to offer an added value to their local society and region.
Social enterprises are businesses which trade to tackle social problems in order to improve communities, people’s life chances, or the environment.
A social enterprise is NOT social work. The businesses make profit like any other business. It is how they work and what they do with their profit that is different: working to make a bigger difference, reinvesting the profits to do more good.
Mentoring is an instrument with a broad variety of implementations in our society. It is a form of coaching and networking, and makes an essential contribution to the growth and success of an individual.
The strength of mentoring lies in the fact that all parties benefit from it. The mentee gains confidence and has the feeling of not standing alone. The mentor develops skills as a leader, trainer and coach.
