MENTORING IN MET COMMUNITY, BECAUSE “BY HELPING OTHERS YOU HELP YOURSELF”

MetCommunity

Last Monday, 25th of September, at 6pm started the 3rd edition of the Met Community program in Bilbao in an incomparable setting, the University of Deusto. A day some of us were looking forward to and with some butterflies in our stomachs. There we were Antonio, Virginia, Irune and I.

This post has a double purpose: on the one hand, to make the launching of their third edition of the program known and, on the other hand, to thank the support of the group of mentors and mentees who have bet for MET Community this year by making some time off their agenda.

Contributing to the social transformation from social entrepreneurship

On Wednesday the 21st of June, my first doctoral student (already a PhD) Nerea Sáenz defended the thesis entitled: La formación en emprendimiento social en la educación superior: competencias, metodologías de enseñanza-aprendizaje e instrumentos de evaluación. Estudio de casos en dos universidades europeas. (Training in social entrepreneurship in higher education: competencies, teaching and learning methodologies and assessment tools.

NESKUTS: an example of perseverance, effort, determination and courage.

I have to admit that since I started the blog I’m being more and more aware of the great talent that surrounds me. In fact, in more than one occasion I have talked about people who are very important in my life and are close to me. Today, let me introduce you again one of them. I have to tell you that she’s another one of my sisters. In any case, please, do not think that she has earned a place on this blog just because of that. If you want to know the real reason, I invite you to keep reading. I assure you that today I’m also bringing you an example of E.P. and entrepreneurship.

Neskuts, this one is for you. I love you. (more…)

Marisa’s secret

I admit that this week I have a difficult challenge, mainly because of the person I came to talk to you about. Although I’ve known her for a few years, in fact for more than two decades, I have to be honest: I need to confess that I did not imagine talking about her in this blog until just a few days ago. For me, she has always been a guide in the world of philosophy, art and aesthetics. Today, I introduce her most unknown facet to me: the one of being an entrepreneur person. (more…)
