We’re delighted to be able to share a recording of our recent Spark Session. The aim of the event was to demystify what it is to be a social entrepreneur, inspire attendees to take action and show how SEI can support you on your journey.

In 2020, Social Entrepreneurs Ireland piloted the Action Lab, a 4-month programme aimed at supporting early-stage social entrepreneurs who were testing and piloting their solution to a social problem.

We worked with 13 social entrepreneur-led projects and organisations as they navigated this uncertain part of the journey at an even more challenging time – during the pandemic. Watch the video above to learn more about the programme and to hear from our participants!

The Action Lab was kindly supported by Lifes2good Foundation. We look forward to running the programme again later this year.
