Share
November 21 is Social Enterprise Day. The day is part of Global Entrepreneurship Week and it is a day with focus on social enterprises and their impact in the whole world.
The global digital campaign has been designed to give social enterprises the chance to tell their stories and show the impact of their work.
Social Enterprise Day is a concept launched by the English organisation Social Enterprise UK. The day has been celebrated in England and a few other countries for some years, on the Thursday during the Global Entrepreneurship Week.
In 2017 Social Enterprise Day went global. Social Enterprise UK, The British Council and Social Entrepreneurs of Denmark (SED) took initiative to expand Social Enterprise Day in 2017 and involve more countries. Social Enterprise Day in 2017 managed to involve 23 countries across the world attended, and in 2018 27 countries joined the campaign.
The vision for 2019 is to create an even greater international focus on social enterprises.
Both social enterprise, support-organisation and individuals all over the world can help reach that goal by getting involved in the campaign this year.
