Creating Change through Social Entrepreneurship at Coursera Course details
- Have you ever wondered what it would be like to practice social entrepreneurship? You don't have to start your own company to make a difference. Everyone can learn from the social entrepreneurship mindset and skillset, and apply it in their own way to create social impact. In this course, we combine theory and practice, applying a systematic framework to guide students through the social entrepreneurship experience. We start by identifying a social or environmental challenge each student is interested in tackling. Students immerse themselves in characterizing the challenge, ideating potential solutions, and building business models around those solutions. This course is a safe space to experiment, iterate, prototype, test, and fail. You don't need to start a new company, though some will! Along the way, you will hear from Yale alumni who launched new ventures, social entrepreneurs from New Haven, and changemakers from around the world. All are welcome; no prior experience is necessary.
