Social B (Social Business Educational EcoSystem for Sustainability and Growth) is a transnational project, running for 3 years from January 2020, which aims to develop, pilot and launch curriculum materials to address the skills gaps and training needs in current social enterprise education and training programmes.
The project seeks to support and develop the competencies of students, Social Entrepreneurs and Social Enterprise practitioners by designing and developing an accessible suite of educational resources to support individual learning, organisational training, and network development to support the longer-term sustainability of Social Enterprises.
Social B is a collaboration between 8 partners from Higher Education Institutions, Vocational Education & Training providers, and Social Enterprises, from Ireland, Greece, Italy and Slovenia.
Social B is a Knowledge Alliance project, funded through the EU Erasmus+ Programme.
