The European Union (EU) in the “Project Europe 2030” is continuing to follow “Europe 2020” set out as a vision of social market economy for the 21st century. One of the tools to achieve this vision is to increase numbers of social entrepreneurship (SE) and promote this business model. SE creates sustainable and inclusive growth and stimulates social innovations. Social entrepreneurship has a potential to bring forward new approaches to big challenges that Europe is facing such as an ageing population, growing inequality, climate change, and youth unemployment.Only a few universities in Europe such as Roskilde University and the London School of Economics and Political Sciences offer study programmes whereas social entrepreneurship is incapsulated either as a specialization or a module. A survey carried out in partners’ home institutions and the discussions held among partners during the preparatory meetings revealed that: (1) none of the partners has a programme or a model for encouraging educators to incorporate the concept of social entrepreneurship in their teaching practices; (2) none of the partners offer social entrepreneurship as study track, module or study programme; (3) more importantly, teachers critically lack knowledge and skills about social entrepreneurship in Lithuania, Latvian and Cyprus partner institutions. The emergence of social entrepreneurship is prevented by number of barriers. obstacles are different in different countries, but the most common is a lack of understanding of the concept of “social entrepreneurship” across Europe.Poor recognition of this term is in all chains of market from policy makers, public servants to public in general, investors, prospective customers. Another barrier faced by social entrepreneurship is a lack of entrepreneurial spirit, managerial and professional skills, competencies necessary for scaling up activities.Higher education institutions (HEI) are the shapers and innovators of our communities that help foster cultural, social and economic vitality. Social entrepreneurship track their development throughout education sector and notes that young people still lack knowledge of social entrepreneurship and its peculiarities.The problem is lack of understanding of the concept of “social entrepreneurship” and lack of necessary skills to develop social entrepreneurship in HEIs.This project aims at raising awareness about social entrepreneurship and its benefits around higher education institutions’ community and in wider range, to promote the development of this business model. The objective is to raise awareness about social entrepreneurship and its benefits around teachers, students and society. HEI’s academics’ have skills gaps in this area. It is necessary to development teachers’ competences and update study programmes, to make them more relevant to current Europe’s economic, social model and international labor market situation. It is evident that there is an urgent need to promote social entrepreneurship among educators and to produce highly qualified graduates capable of addressing profound social challenges faced by our communities and Europe in general. Therefore, is it urgent to empower teachers so that they could deliver high quality teaching whereas the development of social entrepreneurship knowledge and competences are emphasized. In order to achieve the aim of this project it has to be implemented transnationally in collaboration of institutions from different countries with different levels of expertise in the field.Countries with stronger expertise (Belgium, Finland) will create model of development of “Social entrepreneurship” competencies in higher education institutions and will create training methodology for teachers from countries (Lithuania, Latvia, Cyprus) and will provide training. Trained teachers with new tool and knowledge will make training to local teachers about “Social entrepreneurship” so that they could integrate this knowledge into their teaching subjects. As a result of the training a new curriculum on “Social entrepreneurship” will be created and will be integrated into the study processes of partner universities involved.
