ESEP (EUROPEAN SOCIAL ENTREPRENEUR PROGRAM)
The ESEP aims to discover, guide and train community leaders. This program is organized
by ICnet with Cooperación Internacional (NGO) in collaboration with InterMedia Consulting. Social
entrepreneurs are (quoting Ashoka) individuals with innovative solutions to society’s most
pressing social problems. They are ambitious and persistent, tackling major social issues and
offering new ideas for wide-scale changes.
Rather than leaving societal needs to the government or business sectors, social
entrepreneurs find what is not working and solve the problem by changing the system, spreading
the solution, and persuading entire societies to take new leaps.
Social entrepreneurs often seem to be possessed by their ideas, committing their lives to
changing the direction of their field. They are both visionaries and ultimate realists, concerned
with the practical implementation of their vision above all else. But, what kind of ideas? The
project aims to discover the excellent ideas behind social entrepreneurs through a research.
Each social entrepreneur presents ideas that are user-friendly, understandable, ethical, and
engage widespread support in order to maximize the number of local people that will stand up,
seize their idea, and implement it. In other words, every leading social entrepreneur is a mass
recruiter of local change makers.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.
