Module 2 – Entrepreneurship & Community

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

— Harriet Tubman

Short Description

The objective of this module is to understand the different types of entrepreneurship, as well as the role entrepreneurs play in our society for example, who are the (social) entrepreneurs you look up to, what ideas do you feel inspired by and who are your role models for bringing about social change.
