An excellent highly recommended course for those wishing to discover social entrepreneurship and making impactful change through a balanced objective minded and egoless approach. Thoroughly comprehensive covering all angles ranging from strategic transformational to tactical change, supported with case studies and interviews from broad sectors and geographies, models, templates, links, tips and much more. Not least Teresa’s inspirational engaging approach and deep knowledge of the subject drawn from personal hands on experience, academia, research and industry. A huge thanks to her for making such valuable content openly available to all which could transform the lives of others. Plan on spending 2-3 hours per module to get the full value, 1 hour will provide an excellent introductory foundation. Good luck, enjoy.

I have really enjoyed this opportunity to learn with Teresa Chahine, she is an expert and has shared with us her knowledge and experience which, as she says, is a compilation of the work and lives of others. I think it is a beautiful invitation for us to share knowledge and support each other in the different levels of change we need to achieve social justice. I have learned a lot from leaders, community leaders, entrepreneurs, intra-entrepreneurs and extra-entrepreneurs (i did not know these last two denominations) from different parts of the world who have been references in this course; appropriate combination of concepts and practices, what works and the failures when one starts a venture. A path that is being built, better if we do it in collaboration.

I am only midway through the course but each module has been so great in teaching one aspect of social entrepreneuship that I can't wait to explore the next one. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to understand the fundamentals of social entrepreneurship. You can't find a better teacher than Dr. Chahine. Her style of teaching along with carefully chosen case studies and reading resources with every module are invaluable.

Great, actionable, practical content! This course exceeded my expectations in every way. The material was presented in a clear and concise manner, making it easy to follow along and understand all covered topics. What I loved most were the practical exercises and real-world examples provided, which allowed me to immediately apply what I learned to my own projects.

Clear, comprehensive and compelling. Chahine does an excellent job to explain key concepts, provide useful tools and use lots of real case studies and interviews to elucidate the growing field of social entrepreneurship.

I would recommend this course to anyone looking to either start a social venture or simply broaden their horizons and better understand what makes a business socially responsible. The course avoids all of the usual cliches surrounding this and related topics, and rather gives a tangible roadmap and hands-on "how to". Also, it is one of the best produced Coursera courses I've ever taken. Lastly, I also had a pleasure of learning from Teresa in person, and she is truly one of the best lecturers I've ever had.
