Do you have a burning idea and a desire to better yourself and your community?
The Social Innovation Lab is a short evening course, open to any student from any discipline studying at the University.
Social Innovation Lab
What is it?
Do you have an idea for a socially-focused project that will benefit the community or environment? Do you want to find out more about social innovation and social enterprise? The Social Innovation Lab is an online learning experience aimed at equipping you with the knowledge of social enterprise you need to develop your idea. On completion, you can even apply for a whole package of further support and funding via enrolment on the Social Innovation Accelerator.
On the Social Innovation Lab you will learn about the principles of social innovation and how to make sure your social project makes money too.
Not even sure what social innovation is or how you can really make a difference? Take a look at a few snapshots of inspirational and successful social enterprises, established by University of Sheffield students or based in Sheffield. You can find these on our Social Innovation Success Stories.
Who is it for?
You might already have a seed idea for social change, or you might just be interested in finding out more about social innovation. Anyone who is studying at The University of Sheffield, or has studied here in the last five years can apply. Feel free to view some our Student Profiles.
