Social innovation and social entrepreneurship at Latin American universities
The Students 4 Change project aims at promoting social innovation and social entrepreneurship at Latin American universities through the development and implementation of a curriculum. In addition, new opportunities for funding and long-term implementation of social innovation initiatives will be highlighted. The project is being coordinated by the Mexican University of Applied Sciences, Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM). In total, ten Latin American and five European universities and Ashoka Chile are involved in the project. More information about the project can be found on thehomepage of Students4Change.
