Join us on March 19th, 11 am Palestine time for a special event introducing the EPISODE Digital Social Entrepreneurship Course, an innovative, open-source curriculum designed to empower entrepreneurs, educators, and ecosystem enablers with the digital skills and tools needed to drive scalable social impact.
Co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union (KA2 – Capacity Building in the VET Sector), the 210-hour blended learning course is tailored for universities, TVET and CVET institutions, incubators, and accelerators across the MENA region. Developed in Arabic, the curriculum incorporates cutting-edge technologies and hands-on mentorship, equipping learners to tackle societal challenges through digital social entrepreneurship.
During this 1.5-hour event, representatives from implementing partners from Birzeit University (BZU), An-Najah National University (ANNU), BuildPalestine, UNIMED and ALL DIGITAL will introduce the course, discuss how it can be integrated into academic programs and startup incubation models, and explore pathways for adoption and collaboration.
