DEVE-1042Foundations of Social Innovation
In this foundational course, students will be introduced to social ideas in action: how new ideas are created, developed, and applied in line with the values, principles, concepts, and strategies currently used to mobilize change and address social inequality through community-based initiatives. They will be introduced to a range of social enterprises and community development agencies in Canada and around the world, and explore opportunities that social enterprises and community development agencies have created to address social needs. This course provides students with the information needed to make a choice between specializing in community development or social entrepreneurship.
