How do social enterprises contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? Please join us as we explore this question with social entrepreneurs and Coady graduates from Ghana, Haiti, and Canada and learn about how they are tackling challenges such as poverty, access to affordable housing, employment, and markets through innovation and entrepreneurship. While sharing their social enterprise stories, the guest speakers will share insights on good practices, successes, and lessons learned as well as on the aspects of inclusion and sustainability—a key focus of the SDGs.

Resource Material: Innovation, Investments, Incentives and Impact: What can rural women in Ghana teach us about social enterprise?

St. Francis Xavier University and Coady Institute stand on the lands of Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded home of the Mi’kmaw. We express our deep gratitude and appreciation to the generations of Mi’kmaw who, since time immemorial, have loved and stewarded these lands and the beings who call them home. Colonization is not just history; it exists in the present tense. While we strive to decolonize ourselves and our University, we know there is still much for us to learn.

We are committed to doing the hard work of self-reflection and to repairing relationships with the Mi’kmaw on whose lands we reside, including embracing the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada Calls to Action and embodying their spirit in our plans to move forward with our University.
