Learning outcomes

Enactus is the world’s largest experiential learning platform dedicated to creating a better world while developing the next generation of entrepreneurial leaders and social innovators. The Enactus network of global business, academic and student leaders are unified by our vision—to create a better, more sustainable world. https://enactus.org/
Enactus establishes student programs on campuses around the world. With the support and encouragement of their faculty advisors and a local business advisory board, Enactus students deploy entrepreneurial action to improve the human condition and enable sustainable human progress.
Enactus Italy was established in 2016 as the newest branch of Enactus International. The University of Verona joined this community in 2018 and in 2020 is integrated within the Contamination Lab program.
Every year, Enactus Italy organizes a National Competition where all university teams compete against each other in front of a panel of judges from the business world, not only to celebrate their achievements throughout the academic year, but also to win the honour of representing Italy at the Enactus World Cup.

Program

Program and actitivies of this initiative are related to the Italian Team, as such most of their meetings will be in Italian at the moment, with the support of teaching materials and reporting documents in English.
However, if you are a foreign student of the Univerity of Verona you are very welcome to join the Enactus Verona Team! Please contact Professor Paola Signori- Faculty Advisor, if you wish to collaborate with us: paola.signori@univr.it

Examination Methods

Every country that operates an Enactus program organizes a national competition, from which one institution is named national champion and advances to compete at the Enactus World Cup. In every country around the world, and at each level of the overall competition, the judging criterion remains the same:

Which Enactus team most effectively demonstrated entrepreneurial leadership to drive business and innovation for sustainable positive impact to benefit people, planet, and prosperity within the last year?

Entrepreneurial Leadership: identifying a need and capitalizing on opportunities by taking personal responsibility, managing risk and managing change within a dynamic environment.
Innovation: the process of introducing new or improving existing ideas, services, technologies, products or
methodologies.
Use of Business Principles: applying a sound business model and business plan.
Sustainable Positive Impact: demonstrating a measurable, lasting improvement for people, planet and prosperity (fulfilling lives economically and socially).

Students that wish to receive 6 credits, need at least to complete the 80% of digital assignments and actively collaborate with other team members to reach their project goals.
