CEAL (Community-based Entrepreneurship Action-Learning) Network
Community-based Entrepreneurship Action-Learning is a network of organizations and projects that have created an action-learning model for formal and non-formal educational institutions to build community-based entrepreneurship programmes, fostering collaborations between students and young people in disadvantaged communities. Through collaboration with partners in five countries, including neighborhood associations, universities and organizations with expertise in community processes, we implemented 6 pilot programmes in the different countries. Using the successful Brazilian methodology, the Oasis Game and the Elos Philosophy as a pillar.
