Abstract

The Sustainable Entrepreneurial Thinking module aims to help shape the global citizens necessary to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. A global citizen has a certain set of competencies, and the module develops activities that train those competencies. The SET module uses the adjectival form ‘sustainable'. When presented adjectivally the question arises as to what one is trying to sustain? This module explores the ability to sustain “the self”, “the planet”, “the organization”, and, as the course progresses, the interconnectedness of all three. Using the awareness developed in “the sustainable self” and the knowledge gained in “the sustainable planet,” students adopt the mind-set of a sustainable entrepreneur by taking on a societal challenge related to one or more SDGs, and developing innovative entrepreneurial solutions to tackle it. In the process, they train the skills, develop the knowledge, and shape the attitude on their path to becoming global citizens.
