THE NEW ANZISHA MONTHLY EMAIL NEWSLETTER
Entrepreneurship Education for Impact
ISSUE 1, MARCH 2018
Greetings Africans ,
So we’ve made a pretty big change to our Anzisha newsletter. It’s now called the Anzisha Effect, and it’s for the people across Africa who are working together to enable very young African entrepreneurs – people like Teachers, Parents, Investors and Policy Makers. It also has a new Editor – me. My name is Sihle Magubane, I am the Ecosystem Engagement Associate at Anzisha Prize.
If you are a very young entrepreneur yourself and are reading this, please know that the whole reason Anzisha exists is for you. But we’ve decided that we’ll be able to talk to you better through different channels – social media in particular. So please head to Facebook or Twitter and follow us there. If you’re a supporter of youth entrepreneurship, then keep reading – and we hope what you see will make you want share and forward this around to others!
Our collective work in entrepreneurship education and support has remained highly contested.Opinions, criticisms and doubts abound as to the efficacy of prevalent teaching methods, the benefits of exploring alternative models and the challenges practitioners are yet to solve.
This is the first issue of our new magazine just for us and it starts to explore the different facets of entrepreneurship education for the very young in Africa. We present emergent learning, African Leadership Academy's big plan and a suggestion that we can in fact be more entrepreneurial by nature. We feature the work of Aflatoun who are pioneers in this field and have some opportunities and events I thought you might like to know about.
We want to build a community that shares. I’d like to invite parents, educators, and policy makers that impact very young entrepreneurs to share your insights on this platform- email, discuss, debate and collaborate with your peers across the continent in order to remove the blockers and build more enablers for very young entrepreneurs in Africa.
It is only with collective effort that we will accelerate African development through unleashing the potential of very young entrepreneurial superstars in our continent.
On Behalf of the (evolving and growing!) Anzisha Prize Team,
Sihle Magubane
Editor, The Anzisha Effect
