WHAT IS THE ALPHA Ω ACADEMY OF SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP?
Well, it's past. And it was great! However, a global phenomenon or a contemporary mystery, social entrepreneurship may be described as a blend of business, innovation and responsibility with positive impact on problems such as lack of education, poverty, unemployment and many more.
Alpha Ω did support the growth and development of social entrepreneurship in Bulgaria. Within a day, 4 entrepreneurs from 4 different parts of the world shared global knowledge and hands-on experience on social entrepreneurship. It was a unique opportunity to host such forum and meet professionals from Chile, Morocco, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Alpha Ω was jointly supported by alumni of the premier International Visitor Leadership Program of the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Embassy in Sofia and BILI. Check Facebook for more goodies! See the 2016 Alpha Ω AGENDA here.
