    • Welcome!

      At the Social Enterprise Academy, we believe in the power of learning and development to transform everyone to be agents of change.

      We are a social enterprise that connects changemakers of all ages with transformational learning and development in communities around the world.

      Since 2004, we have facilitated over 78,000 social entrepreneurs to help create fairer communities with equitable access to opportunities. Through our social franchising model, we want to scale this impact and increase this to 10 million social entrepreneurs globally by 2030.

      We love facilitation. It’s at the heart of everything that we do. This programme have been designed around our learning from the last two decades and we hope that it will support you to develop the changemakers in your community.

      It is designed to respond to you and your fellow learners. It will create a safe environment for you to not only learn new skills and knowledge, but to grow as people capable of meeting the demanding challenge of starting, growing and supporting social change in all its forms.

      Space and time to reflect on your experience, challenges and potential is a precious thing. By taking the time out from your busy lives, we hope you will find valuable insight and practical ideas for action in return. While you may be away from your desk, for the time you are on the programme you will be working on your own development with the support of your peers.
       
      Be prepared to share something of yourself and listen to the experience of others. Help each other grow and the learning will be rich for everyone.

      Enjoy!
