Description

Who wants to be a social entrepreneur? Join Project G.E.L. and Journi as we set out to use our creativity to make a difference. Social Entrepreneurs are dedicated to finding creative solutions to the most pressing issues facing our society. Poverty, racial injustice, climate change, homelessness, and community development are a few examples of issues that social entrepreneurs seek to address. In The Social Entrepreneurship Project, scholars will learn how to see social issues as opportunities to become creative problem solvers. In this week-long project, we will work with our scholars to talk through social issues facing our community, and learn how to use technology to develop solutions. At the conclusion of the project, scholars will have the opportunity to be social entrepreneurs and present their ideas to the community. Project G.E.L. creates entrepreneurial learning communities where students, teachers, entrepreneurs, and mentors can collaborate, learn from each other, and exercise their creativity. Students explore new ideas, and in doing so learn to take ownership of their lifelong learning journey and to adapt to whatever circumstances they face. Our students learn entrepreneurial skills – the knowledge, strategies, techniques, and tools that give individuals confidence that they can solve problems in the face of uncertainty – that enable them to identify opportunities in an unpredictable and ever-changing world.
