Exciting news for Saudi Arabian women interested in social entrepreneurship (or any woman for that matter).
The Wellesley Centers for Women in conjunction with the Center for Women’s Leadership at Babson College are partnering with distinguished global organizations Dar Al Hekma College and ICF International to create a US-Saudi Women’s Forum on Social Entrepreneurship; the forum will commence July 12-24, 2009 at Babson College.
“Leaders from all four institutions will present the second of three modules to 30 undergraduate women from Saudi Arabia. Module I launched earlier this year in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Faculty from the partnering institutions will work with students to refine the skills they need to create real plans for entrepreneurial ventures, including how to navigate the challenges of designing and delivering social entrepreneurship programs, enhancing leadership skills, and cultivating the creative processes necessary for success.
In addition, several successful female entrepreneurs with ventures in corporate social responsibility, traditional not-for-profits, and social entrepreneurship, will share their experiences during the program’s speaker series component. Module III will be held at Dar Al Hekma College, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in December 2009/January 2010”
It’s always great to see social entrepreneurship progress but especially great when it’s with women in this context.
