This week is the first Global Entrepreneurship Week, a celebration of creativity, innovation, and inspiration designed to connect young people around the world and spark fires of entrepreneurship to solve big problems and create new opportunities.
Launched by Make Your Mark and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation for Entrepreneurs, the week brings together literally thousands of organizations holding events around the world. In the United Kingdom, for example, more than 600 partner organizations are hosting more than 3,000 activities.Reblogged from socialentrepreneurship.change.orgThe week is particularly focused on introducing the Millennial generation to the idea of entrepreneurship and enterprise. For example, events held yesterday included:
- a debate called "In the Current Economic Climate, Can Entrepreneurs Change the World," as a part of ChainReaction,
- a video conference about entrepreneurship and the Millennium Development Goals between Ghanian university students and California Polytech State University,
- a debate about entrepreneurship and the local environment in Porto Alegre in Brazil
