The Green & Social StartUps Project
Fostering Green & Social Entrepreneurship in School Education
through a Virtual Business Environment
What is the Green & Social StartUps Project?
The Green & Social StartUps Project is a 30-months (2022-2025) Erasmus+ Project that aims to to develop useful educational material to broaden students’ professional horizons, bringing them in contact with the valuable elements of Entrepreneurial Education and the professional world itself, as well as with the essential elements of green and social entrepreneurship, in order to understand the needs and requirements that prevail.
Why Green Entrepreneurship?
Green entrepreneurship is essential because it not only contributes to environmental conservation and social welfare but also offers economic opportunities and long-term business viability. By combining profit with purpose, green entrepreneurs play a vital role in shaping a sustainable and resilient future for our planet.
Why Social Entrepreneurship?
Social entrepreneurship is vital because it leverages the power of entrepreneurship to create positive social change. By combining business acumen with a strong sense of social responsibility, social entrepreneurs play a crucial role in building a more equitable, sustainable, and inclusive world.
