On April 5, 2024, the School of Social Entrepreneurs (SSE) and International Academy celebrated the grand opening of their Lori branch. This event marked a significant milestone in expanding SSE’s reach. Following this, on April 12, they inaugurated the Armavir branch. These new locations represent the beginning of a broader initiative to establish branches throughout Armenia.
The primary goal of these new branches is to unite diverse stakeholders from Armenia’s regions. This includes state, social, and private sector representatives, along with international institutions. Furthermore, experts, mentors in social entrepreneurship, business leaders, SSE community members, and alumni will all play a role in these new centres.
As a proud member of the Armenian British Business Chamber, the School of Social Entrepreneurs is committed to driving regional development through social entrepreneurship. Additionally, the new branches will offer trilingual Social Business education designed to address various social issues and create a positive impact. This educational programme will particularly benefit vulnerable groups by providing them with the tools to establish and sustain social enterprises.
Overall, these new branches exemplify SSE’s dedication to fostering regional growth and social entrepreneurship. By integrating education with community needs, SSE is working to drive meaningful change and support the development of social enterprises across Armenia.
