About our project

In response to the effects of the economic crisis, curtailed public budgets and the magnitude of future challenges, Social Entrepreneurship and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) emerged as a key policy priority in the EU. Yet business and economic education and training does not adequately reflect this trend. New generations must be taught new business models reflecting Social Entrepreneurship and giving back to the community through corporate, social responsibility and philanthropy. We are living at a time of profound technological, social and environmental changes. These changes are transforming the societies, and at the same time they challenge the education systems and put question on how do we educate and empower the next generations? How do we empower young people to succeed in 21st century and solve the rapid changes we are facing? 

Developing and promoting entrepreneurship education has been one of the key policy objectives of the EU institutions and Member States for many years. Too often, the value of entrepreneurship is only considered in economic value, creating profits for the individuals at (high) cost for the people or the environment. Making profits by doing harm to people and nature disengages young people more than it empowers them. If we have entrepreneurship education to only teach young people how to make profits, we invest in sustaining and empowering unjust societies. Social entrepreneurship by contrast is explicitly about creating value for others: economic, social and environmental value.

This is the entrepreneurship the world needs more. 

Entrepreneurship education is essential not only to shape the mindsets of young people, but also to provide the skills, knowledge and attitudes that are central to developing an entrepreneurial culture and new set of role models.

SEED project seeks to educate and empower students and suggest that those who pursue social, environmental and economic value will be considered the entrepreneurs of the 21st century.

SEED project focuses on delivering tailored upgraded programs for promotion of Social Entrepreneurship to high school students that are enrolled in the school subject "Entrepreneurship" in the three respective countries (North Macedonia, Croatia and Lithuania).

The project upgrades its objectives by providing safe space for the students to run Virtual Social Enterprises and empowers them to receive and boost their employability skills by being leaders in organizing events in real life: organizing meetups with successful (Social) Entrepreneurs from their community, establishing ALUMNI networks at school) etc. The project modules are designed by NGOs that will provide new learning framework, experiential learning that is aligned with the transformed strategic environment and create new value in the education process.
