Transforming organisations and education for societal sustainability
Organisations becoming more socially and sustainably aware has been a developing trend in recent years. This is true for businesses, academic institutions, state agencies and everything in between. The time has now come for education to meet the demand for graduates and professionals with societal understanding, entrepreneurial spirit and ability to guide organisations towards a more socially sustainable future. The EMBRACE project consortium is developing the building blocks for educators in higher education institutions (HEIs) and trainers in organisations to shape Corporate Social Entrepreneurship curricula. For anyone, at any level, at any time.
Throughout several sessions, you will be asked to optimise the building blocks to suit the needs of trainers and educators. By the end of summer 2021, you will gain access to a complete set of building blocks and the roadmap to develop a custom Corporate Social Entrepreneurship curriculum that suits your HEI or business’s needs.
A 1-day online event hosted by the EMBRACE project consortium lead by the Hanze University in Groningen, the Netherlands.

We will be looking at the student profiles, professional profile and the competences associated with them. This framework is a crucial building block and your feedback will ensure its usability and quality. In breakout rooms guided by EMBRACE project team members, you will be able to discuss and edit the profiles and competences framework.
