Oikos Copenhagen
With Social Pioneers, Oikos Copenhagen brings together students and social entrepreneurs in and around Copenhagen. Throughout the year, Social Pioneers will organise monthly company visits to many different kinds of entrepreneurial businesses that engage with social or environmental sustainability.
In Spring 2020, during the course of these company visits, there will be a panel debate to reflect on social entrepreneurship, its benefits to society, the difficulties for the entrepreneurs involved and more relevant questions:
How for example do social entrepeneurs work with innovation?
What are the challenges of working with social or environmental sustainability?
And what does it take to become an entrepreneur, can anyone do it?
In a panel existing of various social entrepreneurs and other relevant experts, there will be plenty of room for questions from the audience.
We aim to provide a platform to people who themselves work with new methods, products, activities or technologies, to spread the knowledge about this among students. By offering students insights in the entrepreneurial scene, we hope to spark the interest to integrate the knowledge that they gain from their study programme with real-life applications and
opportunities. Moreover, with our panel debate, we hope to spark a dialogue among different entrepreneurs in Copenhagen, to ensure mutual learning.
