Program Overview

Award in Social Enterprise Development

Description

This module explores the way existing NGOs can develop all or part of their organisations as Social Enterprises. The module will support participants' efforts to commercialise certain activities of their organisation within a value-based framework. This framework must reflect the core values of their NGO and be aligned with the strategic goals and objectives of the NGO.

The module provides an EU-centric perspective to the development of Social Enterprises. It provides participants with the required background to understand the dynamics of developing a Social Enterprise. It focuses on the hybrid nature of strong governance based on efficiency and efficacy of systems and procedures that respect both the social scope of the enterprise and the commercial context of its operations.

During the module, practical methodologies will be introduced and discussed with participants, either as stand-alone or as group process, using up-to-date technological tools.

At the end of the module/unit, the learner will have acquired the responsibility and autonomy to:
