27/11-01/12/2018 - Forum on the environmental dimension of social entrepreneurship (Ουγγαρία)

The “Towards Collaborative Practice” (TCP) Community has been growing and inspiring the field of social entrepreneurship and innovation since the first conference burst out of Malmö, Sweden in 2015. The second edition of the TCP Forum, focusing on social innovation and entrepreneurship, took place in the beautiful city of Lecce Italy in 2016. The third chapter followed in Liverpool United Kingdom, at the beginning of 2018, which sought to grow and collaborate further by sharing ideas across the Youth and Vocational Education sectors.

Now it’s your turn to join the community in the fourth TCP Forum to take place in Budapest Hungary. This edition’s focus will be environmental consciousness in social entrepreneurship. The whole event is influenced by its theme, environmental awareness - including site selection, menu compilation, coffee breaks and the materials we use. We believe it is important to show that there is always an opportunity to select an environmentally friendly option.

Aim and approach of the TCP Project:

The aim of the TCP project is to build an international network of like-minded people, projects, ideas and experiences of social entrepreneurship, with a particular focus on Erasmus+ opportunities. The TCP Forum is an opportunity to discuss future pathways for social entrepreneurship, explore new opportunities and build a cross-sectoral platform for cooperation on innovative projects and initiatives.

The upcoming Forum will be a meeting and exchange, encouraging cross-sectoral collaboration and partnership building between Erasmus+ formal and non-formal sectors as well as (social) business on everything related to social entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial learning, with a particular focus on environment and ecology.

Based on non-formal learning approaches which encourage your active participation with room for sharing good practice and expressing yourself, the forum will be an exciting mix of expert inputs, interactive workshops, group coaching sessions, field visits and many more.

A novelty of this chapter of the TCP Forum is the introduction of the group coaching method. This session offers you unlimited opportunities to discover the social entrepreneur in you. Professional group coaches will support your real individual development with the help of others on given topics will be appearing on the conference in the moment by you.
