Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship: Difference between revisions

==Activities==

The Foundation identifies rising social entrepreneurs under the age of 40 through its [[Forum of Young Global Leaders]] and encourages the activists it recognizes to work together as a team. In this collaboration, ideas are shared and possible funding is attracted from companies, universities, or [[INSEAD]]. The activists can also win support from corporations and political and academic leaders.<ref>{{Cite web |last=mike |date=2013-05-27 |title=S is for The Schwab Foundation For Social Entrepreneurship |url=https://www.thepositiveencourager.global/the-schwab-foundation-for-social-entrepreneurship/ |access-date=2023-08-02 |website=The Positive Encourager |language=en-US}}</ref> The activists (260 people in 2013) serve on the Forum's Global Agenda Councils.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Schwab-foundations-social-entrepreneur-of-the-year |url=https://www.opportunitiesforafricans.com/2016-schwab-foundations-social-entrepreneur-of-the-year-award-apply-now/}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Announcing the Social Innovators of the Year 2023 – Motsepe Foundation |url=https://www.motsepefoundation.org/announcing-the-social-innovators-of-the-year-2023/ |access-date=2023-08-02 |language=en-US}}</ref> Case studies on specific social entrepreneurs are provided to leading academic institutions to incorporate into undergraduate and graduate-level courses.<ref name = Schwab-about/> Each year the Foundation selects 20-25 Social Entrepreneurs through a global “Social Entrepreneur of the Year” competition.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Forum |first=World Economic |title=2023 Social Innovation Awards: The Power Of Collective Change |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/worldeconomicforum/2023/01/17/2023-social-innovation-awards-the-power-of-collective-change/ |access-date=2023-08-02 |website=Forbes |language=en}}</ref> Winners include [[Mikaela Jade]], for innovation in indigenous edu-tech.<ref>{{Citation |last=Waters Robichau |first=Robbie |title=Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship |date=2010 |url=https://doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-93996-4_766 |work=International Encyclopedia of Civil Society |pages=1352–1353 |editor-last=Anheier |editor-first=Helmut K. |access-date=2023-08-02 |place=New York, NY |publisher=Springer US |language=en |doi=10.1007/978-0-387-93996-4_766 |isbn=978-0-387-93996-4 |editor2-last=Toepler |editor2-first=Stefan}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Schwab Foundation for Social Entrepreneurship {{!}} UIA Yearbook Profile {{!}} Union of International Associations |url=https://uia.org/s/or/en/1100061360 |access-date=2023-08-02 |website=uia.org}}</ref>
