Abstract: This paper suggests how action research courses in university settings may be harnessed to teach social entrepreneurship and build new, small, innovative Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to mobilize students and other people in combatting human suffering. In contrast to huge, complex programs to carry out international development efforts, the focus here is on methods to 1) First, to dig into the literature about social change in college courses; 2) Second, to then design new strategies in which students learn ways of implementing their projects; and 3) Third, to eventually turn them into ongoing, programs, that is, practical partnerships as NGOs in impoverished regions where developing nations struggle. Ten cases are described and analyzed. Types of students are summarized. In one’s courses, after the theoretical literature is highlighted, strategies for implementation are designed by university teams in the author’s classes, and then comes implementation and evaluation.
Keywords: teach social entrepreneurship, Academic Social Entrepreneurs, mobilize students, Global Innovation.
