Can you tell us what this summer school is all about?
“Yes, certainly, it’s all about interaction, see there are people from all continents, people from for example Finland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Iran, Vietnam, Spain, UK, Ireland, Turkey, USA etc. There will be some great input from highly respected academics and scholars, but the focus will definitely lie on the exchange of ideas. Creating social business ideas, looking critically at social entrepreneurship research and education as well as examining supporting structures such as Ashoka will provide excellent insights and a high leverage on social capital through networking.” Othmar Lehner
