The ecosystems that sustain our economies are increasingly affected by rising consumption and traditional business practices. There is an urgent need to curb the environmental and social impact of economic activity on ecosystems, and to increase innovation towards this negative development. Crucially, it requires that enterprises develop business models that balance social, and environmental sustainability with economic returns.

After active participation in the lab you will
-be able to use the latest tools, knowledge, and best practices to facilitate tutoring of SMEs in building sustainable business models (focus on environment);
-have established a new network of peers to support and facilitate future learning.

The purpose of the training is to further cement your understanding of the use of the Flourishing Business Canvas, using peer-to-peer learning with the guidance of the instructors.

The day will consist of two key tasks to this end, which will be described in detail:

# data[].attributes.body
We ask that you work with your group and to discuss with them the progress that you have made on your own canvas. Please explain the process, the challenges that you faced and address any issues that you have not yet resolved. The three instructors will spend time with each group to offer guidance, and to reflect upon and discuss the processes and any challenges. This is also a chance for you to offer feedback and assistance to one another, as well as to learn from each other’s experiences and topics.

During this session you shall use Mural and further develop your canvases in conference with your group. At the end of the first session we will have a plenary session where we can share our experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
We ask that you choose (as a group) one of your canvases to be developed further by the group. The purpose here is that you can focus all your efforts, having honed your skills, towards ‘perfecting’ the best, most interesting, or potentially fruitful canvas. Here you can further address the challenges that you have faced and brainstorm together how to overcome them whilst preparing to present a reflection on the process from training perspective (of 10-minute length).

The penultimate task of the day will entail 3 of the 7 groups being asked to present their chosen canvas, with a particular focus on what they have learnt about the process. The choice of groups will be made by the instructors at random.

The day will then end with a reflection in the form of discussion and feedback.

# data[].attributes.body
Ultimately your goal is to support SMEs within your country to develop themselves. The Flourishing Business Canvas is a tool engineered to help with that. The specific purpose of the course is for you to become a Trainer of the Canvas.

In this course we have people from a variety of different places, involved in several different endeavours. There are, therefore, a number of different contexts. Bearing in mind your experience of using the canvas, both individually and within your group, reflect upon how you will make what you have learnt about using the Flourishing Business Canvas applicable to those who you would like to train in your context. This could be companies, trainers, or colleagues within other development organisations

The document should contain:

• A description of the context within which you work and the target group.

• How you would use the Flourishing Canvas as a learning tool

• Why would you choose this strategy (given the context and target group)

• The intended outcomes

It should be max 2 pages

Please send the document as a pdf to chris.nicol@umu.se in the subject please write “SIDA and your name” (e.g SIDA: Chris Nicol)
