Learning outcomes
The course offers students a clear and hands-on introduction to social entrepreneurship, viewed through both regional realities and international lens. It is organized by the Department of Economic and Managerial Studies at Palacký University Olomouc and designed as an intensive blended experience: a one-time online session to set the scene, followed by a five-day on-site program. During the on-site component, students take part in expert-led lectures, guided group discussions, and field visits to selected social enterprises - so they can see how social impact is created in practice, and what it takes to make a mission-driven organization work day to day (from business model to funding and management).

Prerequisites
active participation in the virtual and on-site components of the course developing answers to the assigned questions and discussing them together within the physical component reflection on field visits to social enterprises (sent after the end of the physical component)
