Our mission is to spread the word to the professionals of today and tomorrow so that they can make a difference
Since 2012, Entrepreneurs du Monde has been sharing its practices and fieldwork expertise in higher education in France and abroad. The association can offer (in French or English):
- Introduction to the social business sector
- Structured training courses, from 3 to 24 hours
- Student projects lasting several months (linked to and supervised by the Entrepreneurs du Monde team)
We engage with subjects linked to our core missions, such as development project management, social enterprise (management of a social enterprise in a developing country), social micro-finance (theory, methodology, operational management) and access to energy (current state of the sector, economic models developed).
Particulars
Our input is based on our field experience in the countries in which we currently operate: We teach as practitioners.
Our trainers are development professionals in economic development. They communicate a pragmatic understanding of what happens in the field, and offer students their personal experiences of working in the sector.
75 to 100% of our sessions consist of practical exercises: Students consult course documents beforehand which informs their contributions to class discussions.
