The Jewish Innovation
At a time of rapid global change, people around the world are needed more than ever to cope with social challenges presented by contemporary society. These people are expected to know how to find creative solutions to problems, new and old.
In Israel, entrepreneurship and developments have come to the fore to play an important role in civil society. Due to the remarkable success of Israeli entrepreneurs, the Israeli model lends itself to being used as a good example for social activism around the world. This, together with the experiences of other organizations from around the world, can form the base for a better tomorrow.
SEE Israel will offer participants a unique chance to experience Israel through the lens of social entrepreneurship.
The Impact
We are a select group of students from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, working together as part of public diplomacy training program on behalf of StandWithUs (www.standwithus.com). StandWithUs is an international organization which aims to improve education about Israel and strives to confront false information about the Middle East.
What Will You Do with the Money?
SEE Israel will take the shape of a four day conference, during which participants will listen to lectures, meet with experts and fellow innovators in the field of social entrepreneurship and will visit local social enterprises and view them in action. The conference will host approximately 40 social entrepreneurs and representatives of organizations from around the world; people who are prominent young citizens, from organizations that are leading the way in offering innovative and proven solutions to problems faced by civil society, social activists and people with significant influence within their respective companies.
