#ASEU everything (27.07.2020)
WOW... and the Active Social Entrepreneurship in Ukraine project has been completed. For a year, we rode around Ukraine, rocked social and school entrepreneurship, set ourselves challenges, and made sure that everything was in people.
No, not so, People with a capital letter. Traditionally, there are no noisy parties this year, and all the power of hugging online.
Short version: if you somehow crossed paths with us this year, we remember, love, and see you soon. That's #ASEU all.
Great premiere! (22.07.2020)
We take the best educational experience of Europe and the USA, add a pinch of creativity, mix well with Ukrainian realities, and here it is ready - the first interactive video lesson on social entrepreneurship for students in grades 8-11.
The topic of social school entrepreneurship (SSHP) is increasingly being discussed by Ukrainian educators and will captivate schoolchildren from the first time. Still, because as it turns out, the first business can be opened already at school and miraculously theoretical knowledge is transformed into practical skills. After the School of ME team and Accelerate#ASEU or graduates conducted trainings on SSHP for more than 200 students earlier this year, we made sure that the topic was interesting, but there are many questions.
The video lesson consists of two parts and is recommended for holding in schools before the introduction of a course on social school entrepreneurship or even the start of a social school firm.
The lesson is only part of all the materials we offer to use. More information on the www.schoolofme.me/sse website.We go to schools (26.01.2020)
And now let me present those schools in which the teams-graduates of the Accelerator#ASEU and their trackers will lay the foundation for a conscious and responsible business:
● Donetsk region, Ukrainian School No. 13 (Ukrainian)● Kramatorsk School No. 31 (Kramatorsk district, Ivanovka village)● Kramatorsk School No. 16 (Kramatorsk)● Mariupol School No. 33 (Mariupol)● Bilozerska School No. 18 (Bilozerske)

● Lysychansk secondary school No 13 (Lysychansk)● Severodonetsk secondary school No 14 (Severodonetsk)● Bilovodsk gymnasium No 1 (Bilovodsk)Launch of Ukrainian Social Venture Fund (23.01.2020)
We give away money! Who wants it? Come and take!
This is how the distribution of grants looks like and we will not destroy this fairy tale, we will only supplement it with a few "buts".
So today, to the sound of fanfares, we are launching the Ukrainian Social Venture Fund. The fund is created by partner organizations of the School of ME, Kinderhilfswerk ChildFund Deutschland, Western NIS Enterprise and FundandSILab Ukraine.
Already in early spring, four (or maybe five) Ukrainian social businesses will receive partially repayable grants in the amount of 2500-3500 €.
