1. SOCIAL AMBITION AND PERSONAL AMBITION• The Opportunity:
• Use advertising and marketing to get different types of people to engage
![Page 20: Methodologies to turn young people into social entrepreneurs](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b5b1b84a795965618b4601/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
2. PEER LEARNING
• Traditional teaching of skills – like in schools – does not work best
• Opportunity:
• Instead let young people learn from other young people who have done that project before
![Page 21: Methodologies to turn young people into social entrepreneurs](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b5b1b84a795965618b4601/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
3. YOUTH-RUN YOUTH ACTIVITIES• Entrepreneurial skills are learnt and
passed on peer-to-peer when young people run their own projects.
• Opportunity
• Help the young leaders turn their passions and ideas into sustainable ideas
![Page 22: Methodologies to turn young people into social entrepreneurs](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b5b1b84a795965618b4601/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
4. YOUTH-LED SUPPORT SERVICES• Funders recognise that new approaches
are required and what youth at a leadership level
• Opportunity:
• Let young social entrepreneurs HELP you.
• This might mean doing things differently

5. PROJECTS
• Sometimes it’s a project and not a business
• Opportunity:
• Encourage any examples of social and personal ambitions coming together, e.g. in an event such as a fashion show
![Page 24: Methodologies to turn young people into social entrepreneurs](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b5b1b84a795965618b4601/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
6. PILOT
• Learning by doing is NATURAL and often successful
• Opportunity:
• Tell young people to just do it!
![Page 25: Methodologies to turn young people into social entrepreneurs](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b5b1b84a795965618b4601/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
7. COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
• Not all social entrepreneurs start out wanting to make a social change
• Opportunity:
• Show young entrepreneurs how they can create competitive advantage by having a social impact
![Page 26: Methodologies to turn young people into social entrepreneurs](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081414/54b5b1b84a795965618b4601/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
8. ‘GROUP ENTREPRENEURSHIP’• It is easy for young people to get
overwhelmed by the difficulty of running a business – especially as many have poor education and are onluy driven by their passion.
• Opportunity
• Encourage people to make their ideas happen WITH THEIR FRIENDS.
