The CEE workshop program consists of a total of four modules.
In the first workshop module, students are given an introduction to the topic of circular entrepreneurship. The composition of the term and the meaning of its individual components will be discussed. What does entrepreneurship mean and what are the different forms of entrepreneurship? How is sustainability defined and what dimensions does it have? What is social entrepreneurship? All these questions are examined using practical examples.
In the second module, students use their previously acquired knowledge to identify problems and develop solutions. To do this, they go through their everyday life step by step and recognize existing problems. The next step is to develop solutions using creative techniques.
The third workshop module serves to move from the previously developed idea to the business model. For this purpose, relevant components of a business model are developed in supervised group work phases with the help of the Business Model Canvas. The students also draw up an initial resource and cost plan in order to make forecasts for the capital requirements of the project and to visualize the costs of implementation.
Previously developed ideas are applied in the fourth module of the workshop. The students work on a prototype of their problem solution, which can be presented in the form of a physical product, an app or in another form. Supported by the prototypes, the students then shoot a pitch video to present their business idea and make it interesting for potential investors and other target groups.
