Introduction
This course provides an opportunity for anyone interested in the FairShares Model to explore and apply it to their work. In addition to exploring values and principles, key questions, approaches to learning (and decision-making), students will use a range of FairShares auditing and diagnostic tools to gather information needed to develop a plan for a FairShares enterprise. In the final stages of the course, students will learn how to use a FairShares Canvass to prepare for the creation of a new social enterprise and generate a draft constitution for a new FairShares company, cooperative, partnership or association.
Target Groups
- Entrepreneurs seeking to (re)design a social enterprise for multiple
stakeholders.
- Enterprise educators wishing to encourage the study of multi-stakeholder social enterprise

Set in 2032 in a cooperative world where social enterprises flourish, it tells the story of an entrepreneur who is invited to put his unemployed capital back to work on a new game show. Particularly suitable for students of business at A-level or first year undergraduate, the course may interest anyone who wants an introduction to the economics, business models and politics of co-operatives, social enterprise and the social solidarity economy.
Chapters of the book are used to stimulate discussion, role play and other learning activities.
Target Groups
- Business studies tutors seeking to introduce social enterprise to their students.
- Business studies students between the ages of 16-19 who are studying entrepreneurship, business or social enterprise at school or for a degree.
