ASiiA Summer School

Program description:

This 14-day experiential learning program covers what business models entrepreneurs and non-profit enterprises can use to solve social and environmental issues. A combination of pre-session reading, journaling, and individual and group reflection/discussions will assist participants in combining practical and theoretical knowledge for a better understanding of the challenges and charms of cities and rural populations in the Saxony area.

During the second week, students participate in the Praxisteil Social Innovation Camp. This workshop offers the opportunity to try out innovative ideas without financial risk. With helpful feedback from the community, the ideas can then be developed to market maturity. Within the framework of a student company, entrepreneurial activity is simulated in practice. From socially relevant to research-oriented topics, any idea can be implemented proto-typically in the spirit of experiential learning.

The course is available to students of all disciplines. Basics in business and economic studies are therefore not compulsory. Program enrollment is given on a first come first serve basis.
