Fifteen
Young Changemakers from China Visit on Social Enterprise Tour
In February we
ran another social enterprise study tour for the British Council China
and China Youth Development Foundation.
Fifteen
university students from across China and all running their own
impressive social projects came to the UK on the tour. They wanted to get
up close to social enterprises and see them in action so they could
better understand and experience what they are all about.
We arranged a
week long tour for the group, and a a day long workshop at Maida Hill Place. For a quick recap of
the trip click here.
