Poučevanje za vpliv, ne za namero

Teaching social entrepreneurship encourages students to consider societal challenges, yet course participation alone rarely leads to sustained engagement. This article presents a practice-based instructional model developed at the School of Economics and Business at the University of Ljubljana, which positions the course as an enabling environment for personal transformation and action. Through experiential learning, collaboration with social enterprises, and structured reflection, students strengthen their values, confidence, and sense of agency. Follow-up interviews with five alumni show that this pedagogical design contributed to continued involvement in volunteering, community initiatives, and social enterprise creation. The article offers transferable design principles and practical tools for educators aiming to foster real-world social impact beyond the classroom.

Abstract

Teaching social entrepreneurship encourages students to consider societal challenges, yet course participation alone rarely leads to sustained engagement. This article presents a practice-based instructional model developed at the School of Economics and Business at the University of Ljubljana, which positions the course as an enabling environment for personal transformation and action. Through experiential learning, collaboration with social enterprises, and structured reflection, students strengthen their values, confidence, and sense of agency. Follow-up interviews with five alumni show that this pedagogical design contributed to continued involvement in volunteering, community initiatives, and social enterprise creation. The article offers transferable design principles and practical tools for educators aiming to foster real-world social impact beyond the classroom.
