Not just any cook book I love meeting change makers, I find their possibility and energy nourishing and inspiring. This week I was privileged to meet many remarkable individuals, and I wanted to highlight the work of Enactus Aston. Enactus Aston is home to individuals with big hearts and a burning desire to make a positive impact. Their platform has proven invaluable in building the next generation of entrepreneurs and social changemakers.The Enactus network, combining the expertise of business professionals, students, and academic leaders, is to create tangible difference. But what does this have to do with a cook book? Well it's much more than that. The Global Recipe Book 2.0, is a project that sources recipes from international students and refugees and educates young people about the environmental impact of food consumption. But here's the brilliant bit, all profits are reinvested back into the community, supporting refugee businesses. One of the things the team told me about was they were providing basic education on English language through the programme to support refugees, because access to this is really not as straightforward as you might think. The impact of that alone would be huge. This is a great way to end my week, by highlighting something positive I've seen where people have come together and tried to drive whatever level of change they could in an environment that encourages this. If ever there was a post that exemplified how we can rise by lifting each other- well this is not a bad contender.

Cities are crucial for promoting entrepreneurship and digital innovation with solutions that can have an impact on the everyday life of people. Glad to have contributed as lecturer to the academic path of the SUCCESS project, which is training civic officials and aspiring entrepreneurs of Durres (Albania) and Regione Puglia to the creation of new enterprises in different sectors, from sustainable tourism to ICT. The training course is aligned with the objectives of the EU strategy on smart specialization, fostering the activation of new services for local youth, young professional and civic official. I focused on practices and projects taken from URBACT and European Urban Initiative projects to support innovative entepreneurship and quality of life in cities through multiple transitions, supporting the creation of new jobs and skills on both the sides of the Adriatic Sea

✨ On World Youth Skills Day 2024, we celebrate the crucial role of equipping young people with skills for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship. ✨ Today's world faces numerous challenges, many impacting the youth and threatening societal stability. This year's #WYSD theme, “Youth skills for peace and development,” highlights the importance of these skills in fostering a culture of peace, nurturing responsible global citizens, and advancing sustainable development. By empowering youth, we can build a more just, inclusive, and sustainable future for all. That’s why one of our four thematic focus areas is “Employable skills,” where we invest in impact ventures that provide market-oriented, practical 21st-century skills training and employment support. This enables motivated youth from low-income households to gain independence and access new economic opportunities. We also take this occasion to spotlight the work of our ecosystem partner, African Leadership Academy, and its program, The Anzisha Prize. As Africa’s biggest venture-building fellowship for young entrepreneurs aged 15 to 22, it equips young people with the tools and resources needed to run successful businesses and champions their entrepreneurial endeavors. Find out more in our blog interview with Hatim Eltayeb, CEO of African Leadership Academy. Let’s unite in recognizing and fostering the potential of young people as agents of change and commit to providing them with the skills and opportunities to address the challenges of today and tomorrow. #WYSD #entrepreneurship #socialimpact

ACRE Board Director, Brady Cronin shares his passion for building sustainable communities with a holistic lens across culture, people and environment. With a particular focus on working with rural communities to build their capacity to thrive. ✨ "Too often the complex challenges of rural communities have been ignored, underfunded or treated as a technical solution by outsiders. I am so proud to be part of ACRE, where it is recognised that the expertise and know-how to solve these complex challenges, come from within rural communities themselves. A proud Board member, I passionately support ACRE's ability to connect with, recognise and empower rural communities in the hope to activate their aspirations to be leaders of their own future, through enterprising and daring community-led solutions. 🤝 Growing up and living in a small rural community myself, I truly appreciate the role that young people play in their community. The skills and spread of responsibility young rural people are given from an early age cannot be understated. By bringing Social Enterprise Schools to rural communities, we are empowering young people by asking 'what change do you want to see in the world? You can be leaders of the community and here are the tools.' I think that is powerful. We should never underestimate the power and influence young rural people can have on our communities' future when given the space to lead." 👨🎓 As a Monash University Adv. Science – Global Challenges graduate who grew up on Gunaikurnai Country, Maffra in Gippsland, Brady brings a wide breadth of experience in science communication, research, leadership and social enterprise education to the ACRE Board. Brady, we deeply appreciate the impact you have made during your years of tenure on the ACRE Board! #socialenterprise #ruralrejuvenation #entrepreneurship #board #communityleadership
