Belle and co was priviledged to be involved in two sessions on Social Enterprise and Ideation at the ORIBI’s Girls in Business Programme held UCT GSB Solution Space, Philippi Village.

Below a short video reel captured by one of Belle and Co’s facilitators, Zikhona Madubela. This snippet shows the first “role play” designed as TV interview on what a social enterprise is using a coffee shop as an example, and then diving deep into the example of Gangstar Coffee – a social enterprise who employs ex-gangsters as barristers.

They then went on to identify problems in their community, and ideated on solutions. The winning teams then got selected to the second round of Girls in Business programme.

After an intense day with 100 energetic girls, we received a beautiful note from our client, Oribi Village via email:

On behalf of the Oribi Team, l would like to thank you both for designing such a beautiful session. It was amazing seeing the girls engage and get introduced to social entrepreneurship in such a cool way. We hope to engage with you both soon as the program will be starting next week.Once again thank you for helping us make this event a success!!
