  • Inclusive Entrepreneurs | ArtsEkta

    • diverse group discussion at table


      This exciting collaboration between the Social Enterprise Academy and the ArtsEkta will invite people in Northern Ireland from minority ethnic backgrounds to step forward as leaders for their communities and shape a new future, as well as developing the tools they need to begin or grow their own enterprises!

      We believe that collaboration is a key driving force towards creating positive social and environmental change. Our peer learning, applying theory to practice, and reflecting on experiences in a safe environment are things we make sure happen during our programmes. 

      Come together with peers to share your entrepreneurial ideas and grow them over April and May.
       

      Who is it for?

      This in-person leadership programme is for people from ethnic minority backgrounds to help aid in their confidence and connections - for those who see themselves as or becoming community leaders and entrepreneurs.
