10 to 12 and introduce creativity, innovation, leadership and social responsibility into class rooms
using the concept of a "Social Entrepreneur".
Social entrepreneurship: To find creative and innovative solutions to society´s problems in order
to achieve social change. Develop social consciousness to create social and economic welfare
simultaneously.
We want to enable kids to take responsible decisions, believe in themselves, their skills and
talents, so that they learn they can make a difference and become changemakers.
“Kids Today – Tomorrow`s Social Entrepreneurs” an educational campaign, designed to
introduce the term and its meaning to kids in a participatory and easy understanding way. ¿Entre

perceive and assess his suroundings, by presenting real examples.

To encourage kids to become Honorary Social Entrepreneurs, highlighting that
NOW is the perfect moment to start and make a change in the world.

6. Reasons to advocate Social Entrepreneurship :
The organic law of Spanish education picks up the proposal of the European Union of
converged education. It considers the development of entrepreneurship spirit like one of the
eight key capacities of life long learning.
Social entrepreneurship depends on attitudes that can be taught and abilities that can be
developed.
Developing in children capacities of social entrepreneurship fosters their individual welfare,
strenghtens their self-confidence and provides possibilities in the future for their professional
carrer, as well as reflecting benefits to their surroundings.
The Ministry of Education and Cience of the Spanish Government proposes that the
challenge of education should be assumed not only by administrations and schools, but by
the whole society.
In this sense TATEIJU España and TEGI, want to put their part to the individual and social
development of students, implementing the workshop: Kids Today – Tomorrow´s Social
Entrepreneurs
