International Institute for Social Entrepreneurs (IISE)
 

Do You Need Vision To Be a Visionary?
 

The International Institute for Social Entrepreneurs (IISE) in Kerala (South India) is an Institute that operates under the umbrella of Braille without Borders (BWB).
 

The IISE focuses on leadership training in order to create social change. The participants, all over 22 years of age, are inspiring visionaries who mainly come from developing nations. All of them have overcome significant life challenges ranging from vision impairment, disability, poverty, war, discrimination and exploitation. They have a passion to make the world a better place and the strength to be forces of good rather than victims of circumstance.
 

Throughout IISE's 11-month programme, participants develop all the necessary skills to succeed as social innovators/entrepreneurs. Workshops and hands-on practice in the areas of management, public speaking, communication, leadership, fund raising, budgeting, bookkeeping, project proposal writing, marketing, public relations, computing with open software technology, and others, give IISE's participants all the necessary tools to start their own social projects. All selected participants receive a full scholarship, including travel costs, accommodation and a high-end course by international experts.
 

To ensure high quality training, IISE accommodates a maximum of 32 participants per academic year.  Read more »
