Autumn School Draft Program

The Autumn School for Sustainable Entrepreneurship is an annual programme for young social entrepreneurs from African countries and Germany. Driven by the vision of a transition towards a sustainable global economy, it enables young entrepreneurs to learn more about sustainable trade, consider how to maximise their social impact, share their locally acquired best practices with each other and become part of an international network of young people sharing the same spirit of sustainability.
