The Israeli experience in Italy
Yoram Lavi (MINGA) has made his trip back to Israel with a wide range of new experiences and insights after his secondment to the University of Calabria (UNICAL) in Italy. One of his key insights was: “The term of ‘Social Business’ is not 100% understandable and clear to all due to the old existing organizations and sometimes due to lack of clear definition and measurements.” Yoram participated in the university’s life and activities, for example, by offering a workshop on “How political agenda can help to nurture a new market like the one of social entrepreneurs”, thereby commenting on the Israeli experience with social entrepreneurship and engaging in discussions with students.
