Discussion: View Thread

The Global Partnership for Poverty and Entrepreneurship (GPPE) invites you to a Zoom webinar entitled "Rethinking Poverty, Entrepreneurship, and the Role of the Informal Sector" on Wednesday, March 8, 2023 from 11 a.m. - 12:15 p.m. ET (US).

In countries across the globe, the informal sector represents a significant component of the economy.  For people in poverty, it can represent an important lifeline as a source of income. Yet, we understand relatively little about the role of the informal sector in helping to alleviate poverty. This webinar will explore the dynamic nature of this sector in both developing and developed economies. We will examine key issues surrounding informality and formalization when it comes to the development and outcomes of ventures created by those in poverty circumstances.

The webinar will feature:

- Dr. Kaveri Gill, Ph.D., Professor, Department of International Relations and Governance, Shiv Nadar University (India)

- Dr. Carla Canelas, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Economics, American University of Paris (France)

- Dr. Constance Gunhidzirai, Post-Doctoral Research Fellow, Centre for Social Development in Africa, University of Johannesburg (South Africa)

- Dr. Ariel Newman, Assistant Professor of Entrepreneurship, Syracuse University (USA)

 and be moderated by Michael H. Morris, Ph.D., Professor of Entrepreneurship and Social Innovation, Keough School of Global Affairs, University of Notre Dame (USA)

As entrepreneurship education becomes more multifaceted, comprehensive and experiential, the demand for high quality educators continues to grow. The question concerns how to help prepare these individuals --- how to get them familiar with methods and practices of teaching, curriculum design, core content of courses, and key principles, tools and frameworks. Many could also use more exposure to the use of cases, business models, simulations, field projects and related experiential teaching tools. 

 

The Experiential Classroom is a rigorous clinic to help faculty new to entrepreneurship and those attempting to re-tool or introduce new approaches. Our first twenty-one offerings received outstanding reviews (let us know if you would like to talk to previous delegates). The clinic lasts three days, and is delivered by the top educators in the country. It is a content-rich program, and introduces a number of highly effective, state-of-the-art approaches. 

 

The Experiential Classroom XXII will be offered at the University of Tampa from September 15-18, 2022. Enrollment is limited to 75 delegates. The tuition has been held constant at $1700 for many years, and we have a limited number of partial, need-based scholarships provided by the U.S. Association for Small Business & Entrepreneurship (USASBE).

 

While the program is full, I am pleased to announce that we have been able to add five extra spots for this year's program.
