Solution
Enactus Etudiants is a educational program enabling students to experiment with social entrepreneurship as a means of action: they identify an issue that affects them (pollution, climate change, violence, health, poverty...), come up with a project idea, prototype it, test it, develop it and take action on their own scale.
For example, Maxime and Stéphane, both 21, wanted to help farmers make the transition to organic farming. They came up with PourDemain, a social enterprise that distributes the produce of in-conversion farmers to supermarkets. Throughout the year, students meet with professionals and present their projects at the end of the year.
Through this experience, the students blossom, gain confidence in themselves and in their ability to act on the world's issues, develop many skills and an entrepreneurial posture that will be useful throughout their personal, professional and civic lives.

Why we love it?
Enactus is the reference association when it comes to social entrepreneurship for young people: a wonderful way to create many solutions to today's problems!
Commitment isn't innate, it has to be learned. My dream is that every young person should have the chance to increase their power to act on the issues that affect them.
