- It is recommended that a video clip produced by the Skoll Foundation is shown at this point. The video is of Professor Muhammad Yunus, Grameen Bank and is titled ‘Social Entrepreneurs: Pioneering Social Change’ available at http://www.socialenterprisemark.org.uk/showreel/. It is recommended that the first 3 minutes of this video is shown to participants with the closing credits acknowledging the Skoll Foundation.
- Social entrepreneurs are often taken to be mavericks as they typically drive ideas forward where others may only see barriers. In almost every example where a social enterprise has been established, many obstacles have been overcome to get the venture off the ground; problem solving and persistance are two essential qualities for successful social entrepreneurs.
