Social enterprise is an international movement characterised by organisations that trade to earn income, but also achieve social and environmental benefits. Social enterprise is becomingly increasingly popular in South Africa as a way to create positive social impact without reliance on donor income.

This practical programme will introduce you to the wide range of income-generation models used by successful social enterprises around the world. It will also provide you with the space and time to reflect on how to implement these best practice models in your own organisation.

You will have the opportunity to visit a well-established and highly inspiring Cape Town social enterprise, and network and share experiences with other aspiring and established social entrepreneurs on the programme.

On this programme you will:

Develop your understanding of the value and purpose of social enterprise.
Explore the relationship between social enterprise, NPOs and traditional business.
Discuss real examples from social enterprises around the world and visit a local, successful social enterprise to learn from their experiences.
Gain an overview of the legal structures available and identify a wide range of possible revenue models.
Explore the challenges of balancing social and environmental aims with sustainability.
