How does EWET go about it?

Local community support and ownership of entrepreneurship education (EE) is crucial to serve as the support base for the young people involved. Such ownership could be situated within: (a) the schools educators; (b) the whole school; (c) the Schools Governing Body (SGB); a group of caring people from within the community where the school/s to be serviced are based; (d) the District Offices of the Department of Education; (e) the local or district government; (f) a local business who engages for the social benefit of learners in schools in its area of operations; or, (g) a registered not-for-profit, public benefit organisation who wishes to expand its range of products and services to include the delivery of entrepreneurship education to secondary school attending youth. Any one of the Local Partners (LP) serves as EWETs entry point towards delivery. h.) Sometimes it happens that individuals from a specific community request EWET to assist them with the initiation and establishment of a community based organisation or non-government organisation in the absence of the availability of such social infrastructure locally. EWET responds to such request with its

Partnership for Development Models (PDM) approach to create a local home for entrepreneurship education (EE). The people involved as EWETs Local Partner play an important role within the attainment of the development objectives of the participating young people as described. EWET Workshop: Local Partnership training covers the following content: checking in; mental models; team learning; partnerships; a first project; personal mastery; systems thinking; shared vision; and workshop evaluation. This workshop demonstrated its ability to enable diverse stakeholders to work together for the common good of their community. Critical to the local capacity requirements of a community is to have a local educator who has the competence to render core EWET services to participating schools within the locality. Our countrys vast distances and increased presence of Entrepreneurship Education amongst schools causes for a saving in the traveling, accommodation and human resources costs when a local educator is capacitated to render some of EWETs services to schools locally. This approach enhances the level of autonomy and therefore level of ownership within the local community while contributing to sustainable delivery.
