SIKE student workshops on the topic of social start-ups
The target group of the events was primarily students interested in starting a business, who were provided with information on the topic of social entrepreneurship by inputs from Franka Blumrich and Florian Birk from Social Impact Berlin and a contribution from Prof. Dr. Roland Schöttler from the Protestant University of Applied Sciences Rhineland Westphalia-Lippe in Bochum. In the next part of the event, the social start-ups HeimBridge and Movimientos Autenticos and the artist Miriam Smidt presented their founding paths. Participants had the opportunity to exchange ideas with the start-ups and ask questions in breakout sessions.
The second event “From the idea to the social start-up” was about the practical (further) development of ideas. The Centre for Entrepreneurship and Transfer (CET), the Worldfactory of the Ruhr University Bochum, Social Impact Berlin and the start-up consultancy for people with disabilities “enterability” presented various methods such as Design Thinking and Problem Tree.
