Can't seem to understand what's being thought because you haven't experience what you're being taught? Desperate for a new way in learning?
No matter what you do, so long as you have to sit in class listening to your tutor, you feel bored?
Let me tell you, you're never alone in this scenario. But hey, BZSE offers a solution to that!
One good thing in BZSE is that we focus on experiential learning approach. What does it mean? It means, that we do not just sit down in class trying to absorb what the tutor is trying to teach. Instead, we go out to the real world to see what is really happening and we learn from there.
One such example is the social entrepreneur project. We choose the social enterprises that we want to work with, form groups and get ready to interview them. For my group, the awesome four, we chose City Harvest Education Center (CHEC) for our project.
The social entrepreneur for CHEC is Mr Kenny Low, founder and principal of CHEC. We went to interview him at CHEC to find out more about how and why he set up CHEC and the problem he faced. I think that this is a really good learning experience, very different from secondary schools and we really get to learn about the real problems that were faced. This is really useful for us, budding social entrepreneurs so that in the future, when we set up our own social enterprises, we can take note of these problems and avoid them.
It is also a good experience for me especially, because we get to meet great and inspiring social entrepreneur that is willing to teach us. This experience is invaluable because it's not everyday we get to meet successful social entrepreneur.
