Portrait Social Enterprise (PSE)

The Portrait Social Enterprise project explores how social entrepreneurs in the Zurich Metropolitan Area address societal challenges through entrepreneurial action.

Description

Drawing on selected social enterprises and their founders, the project examines the motivations, enabling conditions, funding models, development pathways, and societal impact of social innovation. The findings are disseminated through both academic publications and a video-based documentary for higher education and professional training. By highlighting social entrepreneurship as a key driver of innovation and social change in the field of social work, the project seeks to inspire and inform research, teaching, continuing education, and professional practice.
