Vital Region - Entrepreneurship for social challenges

De Kanselarij & Inqubator Leeuwarden

MentorProgramma Friesland, Inqubator Leeuwarden, Business Development Friesland and Knowledge2018 join forces to organise the event ‘Vital Region: Entrepreneurship for social challenges’ in order to inspire and connect.
Keynote speaker Jaap Koen Bijma will, supported by 2 current practices from the field, inspire to tackle social challenges and to create new networks. With workshops led by regional and European actors, the event offers you an international perspective on the future of enterprise, hubs and how they can contribute to solve social challenges.
The event gives you the opportunity to bring in social challenges from your region or organisation and find solutions together with the other event participants. Think of it as a social innovation marketplace, where public authorities, private companies and third sector organisations can post and give visibility to social and environmental challenges they want to solve. At the event, students, professionals, social innovators and (start-up) entrepreneurs from across Europe are given the opportunity to discuss solutions to the given social need and hopefully come to innovative insights and solutions together!

EU projects
The event is offered to you by EU projects <A HREF="http://www.enterproject.info/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">ENTER</A> and <A HREF="http://sesameproject.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">SESAME</A>. 
ENTER (In Interface) aims to increase access to continuing Vocational Education and Training (C-VET) for individuals living in interface areas. Specifically, the project focusses on encouraging greater access to entrepreneurship education, aiming to generate significant positive impact at a personal level, as well as encouraging wider economic development and community cohesion. The project will aim to do this by harnessing the knowledge triangle between research, education and enterprise innovation, with VET providers – enterprise agencies and business development centres – at the heart of the triangle.
 There is a world-wide movement where businesses and individuals aim at changing the world for the better. Attention for innovative enterprises that have a primary social mission is growing. These so-called social enterprises do not aim for financial gain in the first place but for having a meaningful activity; just like young adults who increasingly express the wish to offer an added value to their local society and region. SESAME aims at tackling problems like school dropouts, youth unemployment and the growing need for support from young entrepreneurs. Project SESAME wants to accelerate social inclusion of young adults, and enable them to utilise their full potential on their way to the labour market. This will be achieved by creating a connection between developing personal talents and ambitions. It combines possible alienation from the socio-economic mainstream of society with successful methods in (re-)engagement.
