If you are a current student enrolled in a degree from the faculty of Humanities and Social Science and are interested in learning about social enterprise and how to affect change THIS EVENT IS FOR YOU. In collaboration with the team at <A HREF="http://www.impactsocialenterprise.com/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">IMPACT</A>, the HASS Faculty bring you
 
<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">                                               HASS HACKATHON</H2>
 
DETAILS: Our world has a lot of problems, and plenty of interventions that claim to fix them. But we all know the problems persist. Luckily, there’s a new way to generate change. By fusing business and charity, social enterprise is disrupting the way we solve social issues.
Social enterprise offers a sustainable means of tackling big problems.
Join the HASS Hackathon for your hands-on experience in social entrepreneurship.
Using a rapid design process, you will build novel solutions to issues you are passionate about with peers from the HASS faculty. In teams, you will identify an issue, devise a social enterprise model and pitch this solution. You will refine your enterprising skills, develop a framework for understanding social problems, and challenge the ways change-making is typically done.
