This is the presentation for the MBA couse “Social Entrepreneurship: A Visual Approach” which will take place at Universidad del Pacifico (Lima, Peru) next week.
In this action-oriented course, participants will have the chance to experience visual tools to develop their own entrepreneurial ideas. The seminar proposes a novel visual approach to understand the core concepts and building blocks of Social Entrepreneurship and to simulate the development of a social project plan. In each module, participants will firstly be exposed to the main concepts and findings related to the SE topic, also through the discussion of mini-cases. Next, they will apply the concepts by practicing using the related visual tools to develop a social entrepreneurial project in group.
