COTABATO CITY --- The
Department of Trade and Industry in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
(DTI-ARMM), in partnership with Strengthening Civil Society Participation in
Social Enterprise Education Development (CSP-SEED), is calling for applications
for this year’s ‘Local Changes: A Social Enterprise Ideation Camp.’
The CSP-SEED
is a project financed by the European Union and co-financed and implemented by
the British Council.
The
week-long camp, which will be held in Davao City on November 5-11, aims at
gathering diverse individuals who would like to explore their creative side
while offering space to exchange, foster, think, and collaborate about social
innovations through social enterprise.
Through
the camp, the CSP-SEED hopes to encourage individuals to use social enterprise
to create visions for a better, secured, and more prosperous future. It is open
to youth organizations, civil society organizations, cooperatives, community,
or people’s organizations seeking to deepen their social impact in a more
sustainable manner through entrepreneurship.
During
a press briefing held last September 29, DTI-ARMM Secretary Atty. Anwar Malang
said the camp is open to the youths and even to the elderly who are willing to
learn through the project. They must submit a two-minute video, which will
explain the impact of their social enterprise idea to the community.
A
seed funding of P100,000 and a one-year mentoring support will be given to each
generated idea that best fit the contest’s criteria.
Interested
applicants may log on to www.britishcouncil.ph. Completed application forms
should be emailed to changemaker@britishcouncil.org.ph, or can be submitted
through the DTI-ARMM’s office at the ORG Compound, Cotabato City.
Deadline
for applications will be on October 21, 2017 and the announcement of the
participants will be on October 26, 2017. (BUREAU
