Entrepreneurship education can empower students to create their own future while also leading them to develop sustainable social justice initiatives. Our panel will highlight a free high school curriculum, currently being piloted in the U.S. and Ghana, that aligns with culturally relevant and sustaining pedagogies, centering on entrepreneurship and social justice.

Gain insights into the potential of entrepreneurial thinking in creating a more just and equitable future. Educators and students alike will learn how to integrate entrepreneurial principles into their learning and activism, fostering a mindset of innovation and social change. Join us as we explore the power of entrepreneurship education to inspire meaningful action and drive positive change in communities around the world.
