Language English[Outline and Purpose of the Course]*This is the course provided by Interdisciplinary Unit for Global HealthSocial entrepreneurship by definition is a process by which citizens build or transform institutions to advancesolutions to social problems, such as poverty, illness, illiteracy, environmental destruction, human rights
abuse and corruption in order to make life better for many. While embracing the liberal culture of Kyoto
University, the Department of Global Health and Socio-epidemiology is introducing a 15-week Social
Entrepreneurship and Public Health course. This course is basically targeting graduates enrolled in the Schoolof Public Health who are passionate about creating positive change in the society. It will foster out-of thebox thinking on solving social problems linked to Public Health at community, national or even globallevel. This course will further orient students to the field of social entrepreneurship by introducing them tocurrent trends and scientific evidence from the field. Students will learn essential skills needed to be
successful social entrepreneurs starting from analyzing an identified problem in the society to implementing
sustainable solutions utilizing business principles. Such skills and principles are not currently present inpublic health courses yet essential to influence policy, mobilize funding and bring about sustainable socialchange.
*Not all students enrolled in this course will be social entrepreneurs but, to at least, we expect to ignite thesocial enterprise way of thinking to every student. Those students that will eventually become social
entrepreneurs, we hope to provide an opportunity for them to acquire the depth and breadth that they willneed in their journey to make a difference in the life of many.
