WHAT IS THE WORKSHOP ABOUT?

This workshop is ideal for people who have an idea, or the beginning of an idea.

During the workshop Cheryl May, an Advisor on Social Enterprise at MaRS, and Dev Aujla, Founder and Executive Director of DreamNow, will help you flesh out your idea and create a flexible, yet ambitious 3 month timeline to explore and evolve your idea.

Think of how much farther along your idea will be by December 30th, 2009!

You can expect to gain the following from this workshop:

  • feedback on your idea and concrete steps to move forward
  • an introduction to core areas and principles of social entrepreneurship
  • an opportunity to meet and work with other innovative and ambitious young people
