Social Entrepreneurship 101: Defining the problem and your solution
Instructor: Silvia Dorado, University of Rhode Island
I Have an Idea for a Business – Now what? Social enterprises use business models and tools to achieve social and environmental impact. During this workshop, we will get to the root of the social problem you seek to change and the enterprise activity that would give rise to that change. You will leave the workshop with a framework to test your assumptions about the problem, and your proposed solution.
