Format and Logistics

The first segment will be a 45 minutes conference introducing Social Entrepreneurship and Entrepreneurial Relief, including field experiences and specific challenges and opportunities for more efficient intervention.

The following 60 minutes will be spent listing and identifying needs in the fields, discussing how to address them through an entrepreneurial approach, pitching the ideas to others and matching them with local partners in the field.

Danny Widodo (NUS student and documentary film maker) will be reporting and joining us live from the field in Indonesia for the event.

The last 2 hours will be a hands-on exercise on planning and implementing the ideas formulated in the previous 60 minutes.
