There are 5 modules in this course

This course is designed to help anyone who wants to make a positive impact on society, but doesn't know how. Whatever your age, academic background or professional context, it will help you find the path that is right for you to make a difference. You will learn how to move from desire to idea, and from idea to action.

Jointly developed by professors and experts from HEC Paris and Ticket for Change, the course is conceived as a learning journey guiding you through the different steps to find one’s way as an actor of change. Along three main phases - Inspiration - Introspection - Action – you will: - Develop awareness of the role and means of actions of social and environmental changemakers. - Take stock of your own aspirations, motivations and strengths. - Define your objectives towards a personal and professional transformation and initiate an effective transition to action. At every stage of the course, you will: - Gain concepts and methodologies from the fields of innovation, entrepreneurship and sustainability to help frame issues at stake, define and structure a viable project. - Develop self-awareness thanks to concrete self-development tools and exercises. - Get inspired by the testimonies of social entrepreneurs and corporate leaders sharing their experience. The last module can be customized to your professional context or project as you may choose between three tracks whether you are aiming at becoming a "social entrepreneur", an "impact employee", a "corporate changemaker".
