Social entrepreneurs’ habitat
- individuals creating community-engaged, community-shaped organisations
- rooted in personal and particular:for sustainable, real, radical, long lasting change
- hardwiring diversity in leadership
- generating robust, responsive and sustainable solutions
- combining resourcefulness, opportunity and innovation in practical action
- developing business and life skills through practical learning
- outcomes, not process
Social entrepreneurship:
“The SSE is showing how we can take a fresh approach to social and economic renewal”
- Gordon Brown
“The School for Social Entrepreneurs is in the vanguard of training a new generation of social entrepreneurs, and must be congratulated on its success in promoting better understanding of social enterprise and embedding the desire to tackle injustice through community action” - Ed Miliband MP, Minister for Energy + Environment
