How business models can capture the interest and motivation of young people to improve their own communities and those around the world. The business models will include social enterprises, co-operatives, community businesses, alongside multi-nationals, UK based businesses, small firms, partnerships etc, with strong corporate social responsibility agendas.

The new National Curriculum and Every Child Matters empower young people to see themselves as agents of change, locally and globally. How can business and enterprise deliver this agenda? We will showcase studies from business, schools and communities, along with a tool box of activities that can be fitted into enterprise delivery programmes.
