SE Talks Season 2: four social entrepreneurs on how they started

The second season of SE Talks changed the format. Instead of panels, each episode was a conversation between one social entrepreneur and Stefan Chichevaliev, Executive Director of the Social Entrepreneurship Observatory. Four episodes ran between November and December 2021, in English.

1. Motivation for Entering Social Entrepreneurship. Elena Bozhinovska, Walkiie, Skopje. What motivates people to start a social enterprise, how the idea took shape, and what comes next.
2. Social Entrepreneurship and Eco-tourism. Aykut Subasi, Discoversavsat, Istanbul and Şavşat. How social entrepreneurship and eco-tourism can be combined, and what each gains.
3. The Principles of Social Entrepreneurship. Victor Branagan, Dublin. The principles that set social enterprises apart from commercial businesses, and why they are often poorly communicated.
4. The Road to Becoming a Social Entrepreneur. Olga Rajchich, Challenger, Skopje. The starting challenges, and the road from an idea to a social enterprise.

The first season and all recordings are on setalks.org and the Observatory’s YouTube channel.
