Introducing Social Entrepreneurship in Indonesian Higher Education

Description

Innovative entrepreneurship education and training can help students and staff tackle many societal challenges by providing them with the skills required by the labour market. Due to the absence of standardized curricula focusing on entrepreneurship in Indonesian HEIs and the existing societal and environmental challenges in the country, the need for introducing social entrepreneurial education is obvious. Strengthening social entrepreneurial development can help Indonesia resolve current societal and environmental challenges and maintain its economic growth at the same time.INSPIRE aimed to promote: (1) social entrepreneurship in selected Indonesian regions by recognizing their needs and transferring best practice approaches from European to Indonesian HEIs.(2) to facilitate innovative learning practices in social entrepreneurship education by developing and implementing trainings, workshops and other tools to increase the labour market relevance of social entrepreneurs.(3) to strengthen cooperation among educational institutions from Indonesia and Europe to foster internationalization of Indonesian HEI and for mutual benefit of increased reputation and recognition in the field of social entrepreneurship.(4) to foster innovation in the field of social entrepreneurship by involving relevant social entrepreneur mentors in the formation of social entrepreneurs and by creating a physical environment where it can be developed.The specific objectives were: • to strengthen and build up the competences and skill sets of academic staff and students (potential social entrepreneurs) in Indonesian HEIs • to create a replicable and cost-effective capacitation model which can be transferred to other universities and countries in the region to extend the benefits to many more social entrepreneurs.• to develop innovative learning practices by an increased use of ICT tools benefitting HEI staff during Train-the-Trainer sessions and social entrepreneurs during student workshops.• to create new and /or expand existing university-business linkages for mutual benefits and to open up new synergy opportunities.• to stimulate idea generation and creative thinking processes among potential social entrepreneurs by conducting a Business Plan Competition.• to interlink potential social entrepreneurs with well-established social entrepreneur mentors to enhance the learning process and to improve the integration of social entrepreneurial talents in (inter)national economy and new business synergies in the long run• to establish modern co-working spaces in Indonesian HEIs This has been achieved through a variety of activities using online and offline tools in English:(1) Two tailor-made Social Entrepreneurship training sessions covering 6 modules for 49 Indonesian HEI staff who have become multipliers in their own institutions,(2) Entry-level-workshops on social business development with 261 potential social entrepreneurs,(3) Public World Café events with 245 participants connecting Social Entrepreneurship with relevant stakeholders from the Business, Public and Finance sector,(4) Social Business Plan Competition with 120 participants,(5) 1-year mentorship for 25 competition winners involving local Social Business Mentors,(6) Establishment of co-working spaces to provide mentees with a creative work environment. Impact has been achieved on an institutional level in each HEI through capacitated staff and students, on regional and national level through better cooperation among HEIs and industry and the tackling of major societal, environmental and cultural challenges, and on an international level through heightened social entrepreneurship activity in society at large.
