Project Activities

  • Research and Developing Need Analysis Report / August 2015-February 2016:

A comprehensive need analysis of practices of social entrepreneurs in Turkey and Estonia will be prepared based on the study of online communication and workshops with social entrepreneurs and ecosystem developers.

A study of online communications (websites, Facebook pages etc.) of social enterprises and entrepreneurial civil society organizations will be conducted to analyse what and how they publish about their impact for providing the project with quantitative (e.g. how many social enterprises explicitly publish their theory of change) and qualitative (e.g. the best examples of using story-telling) data.

Young social entrepreneurs will be invited for workshops in Turkey and Estonia to share their needs and expectations. Click here for photos from the workshop with Turkish Young Social Entrepreneurs. 

Expert interviews will be conducted to map the situation and needs of stakeholders in the beginning of the project. It is aimed to develop a systematic collection and comparatively review the needs and opinions of social entrepreneurs and eco-system developers related to strategic development of impact analysis capacity building, especially in relation to educating the young generation of change-makers.
