A variety of engaging activities were part of the program. The opening sessions featured expert speakers who shared in-depth insights into the evolution of social entrepreneurship. Participants were then divided into interdisciplinary groups to design innovative solutions to real-world societal challenges. The program also included interactive workshops that explored topics such as sustainable development, ethical business models, and community empowerment.
Cultural exchange was also a key highlight of the workshop. Participants engaged in sessions that celebrated diversity and fostered cross-cultural understanding as a foundation for inclusive and impactful global collaboration. These interactions not only enriched the learning experience but also fostered a spirit of tolerance and international cooperation.
The serene and natural setting of the Makadaya Impact Centre further strengthened the workshop’s focus on sustainability and innovation. The inspiring environment allowed participants to concentrate more deeply on the program’s goals while enjoying the calming beauty of Ubud’s natural surroundings.
