Comments/contents:
The seminar will be held in English. At the beginning of the seminar, participants will learn about the theoretical background of a Transformational Sustainability Entrepreneurship (TSE). The goal of the seminar is to enable the participants to independently let evolve entrepreneurial-transformational ideas and to develop these in a professionally and creatively way. For this purpose, the participants apply e.g. the Impact Gaps Canvas and creativity methods. During the course, participants will develop their own realistic entrepreneurial idea, reflect on their own learning process and the use of the theoretical background. Furthermore, they will meet today's transformative entrepreneurs at the "Impact Hub Hamburg" and learn from them how their idea came about. Last but not least, the participants will learn how to pitch their idea in a professional and appealing way.
