Social Entrepreneurship For kids
The idea of “social entrepreneurship” has struck a responsive chord. It is a phrase well suited to our times. It combines the passion of a social mission with an image of business-like discipline, innovation, and determination. The time is certainly ripe for entrepreneurial approaches to social problems. Many governmental and philanthropic efforts have fallen far short of our expectations. Social entrepreneurs are needed to develop new models for a new century, and who better to change the future than kids?
This website unpacks a pilot learning experience that was created to expose students to the 21st century skills experts predict students will need in a dynamic future. Based on Tony Wagner’s 7 Survival Skills of the 21st Century, students engaged in this experience developed:
Curiosity and Imagination, Critical Thinking and Problem-Solving, Agility and Adaptability, Collaboration Across Networks and Leading by Influence, Effective Oral and Written Communication, Initiative and Entrepreneurship, and Accessing and Analyzing Information.
