Engagement Global Autumn School for Sustainable Entrepreneurship 2017, Germany

The Autumn School is driven by the vision of a transition towards a more sustainable economy. As a learning platform it enables the participants to extend their knowledge about different aspects of sustainable entrepreneurship, share their locally acquired best practices and creative approaches with each other, and become part of an international network of young people sharing the same spirit of sustainability.

Sustainable Entrepreneurship addresses social or ecological challenges through entrepreneurial efforts. Many of these challenges are of a highly complex and global nature. They require integrated responses, based on resources and know-how from different regional actors. By creating a common understanding of sustainable entrepreneurship in the global context the Autumn School wants to facilitate a dialogue and the implementation of sustainability projects across continents.

The Autumn School 2017 is aimed at up to 25 sustainable entrepreneurs addressing climate mitigation or adaptation issues who are interested in maximizing social impact. The format is particularly suited for entrepreneurs who are in the early implementation phase of their project.
