The Create Yourself-Create Change Workshop for Educators is a fun and informative taster to the world of social enterprise. The 5 hour session will be delivered by a young social entrepreneur and has been designed to give educators and youth workers:

• The confidence to introduce social enterprise and to bring social enterprise to life for other team members and your students – by providing you with key facts, opportunities, case studies examples of social entrepreneurs, social enterprise businesses.

• The understanding and awareness of important factors that this ‘new way of doing business’ will directly affect you within the education system, and the changes the growth of social enterprise activity is having within government agenda’s, our society and the economy

• New ideas and methods to engage your young people in positive enterprise activity, which can be used towards assessment criteria and additional subjects such as national diplomas, citizenship, widening participation, careers development and enterprise.

• Positive inspiration and stimulus to use to enhance your teaching skills, and get the best out of your students by offering them of making a profit whilst making a difference: which other educators who have been on the workshop say has increased student aspirations to be successful.
