Social entrepreneurship has led to new models and collaborations that not only provide authentic learning opportunities but, in doing so, address some of our current challenges and improve the world around us. Experience of these new models can lead to higher levels of learner motivation and engagement as well as the development of social conscience and a new sense of purpose. There are many examples of innovative learning practices and models emerging from the most challenged communities. This session will address examples of social enterprise and explore how these can best be developed to support learning and society.
