Platform for Social Change launches “Growth Lab: Boost Your Social Business!”
Starting November 6, the Platform for Social Change launches a free educational program for social entrepreneurs who are already running their initiatives and want to amplify their impact in local communities.
Over the course of five thematic webinars, participants will gain practical tools to grow their businesses — from improving business models to measuring social impact. The program combines expert lectures, discussions, and hands-on assignments that help participants apply new knowledge directly to their projects.
“We see many local initiatives with great potential to grow, but they often lack the knowledge or support needed to take the next step,” says Solomiia Boianovych, Executive Director of the Platform for Social Change. “The Growth Lab is an opportunity to gain the tools that help social businesses become more resilient and impactful.”
Format: Online sessions via Zoom
Time: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM (Kyiv time, EET)
Interactive structure: Theory + Practice + Q&A
Tools used: Zoom, Google Docs, Telegram
Participation is free of charge, but requires prior registration via the following link:
