YSEEM Social Enterpreneurship in South Africa

YSEEAM: Youth Social Entrepreneurship Education for All with Moodle YSEEAM takes roots on the threshold of an approaching Fourth Industrial Revolution in which automation and massive digitalisation is predicted to radically alter the status-quo relation between trainers- trainees, youth workers - youths and their place in the learning process; as well as the future's changeable Skills Demand. Entrepreneurship - Analytical thinking - Leadership and Social Influence are predicted by World Economic Forum (2018) to continue to be most essential skills for future jobs. In the face of those challenges, youth work shall need to anticipate trends and adapt to new technological changes in order to confirm its indispensable role in the new digital age. OBJECTIVE The project aims to consolidate the role of youth workers in promoting youth social entrepreneurship by enriching them with the core knowledge o f social entrepreneurship, youth work skills, and particularly the technical know-how to open their relevant courses on MOODLE as a new, innovative, far-reaching way of doing youth work. Simultaneously, YSEEAM aspires to develop a new form of youth work methods in the efforts to make its digital shift.

This is an exciting project as volunteers have opportunity to work with different communities and interact with youth in social entrepreneurship activities in the community. With South Africa’s high unemployment rate we want to address this challenge that our country is facing. We need volunteers to be able to explore ways to enhance social enterprises and opportunity on Job Shadowing in South Africa.
