The course wishes to expose students to the entrepreneurial mindset and to provide them with the encouragement and tools to turn ideas in the field of Holocaust education and commemoration into concepts for projects and products.

The course will be conducted as an active workshop, in which students will work in teams in a creative and collaborative atmosphere. They will learn basic concepts in the field of social entrepreneurship and innovation; mapping methodologies of relevant challenges and eco-system; they will experiment with the creation and designing of concepts and minimal viable products (MVP) and experience with tools for pitching (elevator pitch) and creating a business model.

The course will be held separately for the zoom group and the physical group in class, therefore the groups will study in alternate weeks with each group studying every other week.
