Lithuanian social entrepreneurs are joining the global celebration of the International Social Entrepreneurship day on November 19 by holding an online event with multiple local and international speakers.
This year, the project partners purposefully dedicate the event to Lithuanian youth (14-29 years old) – learners, students, planning to study, considering choices in professional and social life.
Young people are current and future leaders of the local community and global society. They and they actively question and raise issues related to social responsibility, sustainable consumption, and harmonious interactions with the social and physical environment. The younger generation speaks and acts by showing its interest and willingness to create innovative companies and organizations that differ in their goals and structure from the principles of traditional business.
The speakers of the event, representing different Lithuanian and foreign organizations and sectors, will share information about the diversity of activities in the field of social entrepreneurship – studying at school, studying at university or college, volunteering or doing internships for NGOs, establishing social business in the region or city, cooperating with local or international partners.
The event is aimed at young people (14-29 years old) and educational, scientific, and study organizations, institutions, NGOs, local and central government representatives working with young people, all interested in social entrepreneurship and youth entrepreneurship.
The event will take place on 19 November. 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. online.
