When Business meets Charity - Noam Kostucki talks at University of Buckingham - part 1

Noam Kostucki believes that entrepreneurs and business leaders don't have to chose between financial profitability and having a positive social impact. He explains how every company can use their marketing budget to grow their PR by actually doing social good as a core of their business rather than throwing money at charities as part of their "Corporate Social Responsibility". Similarly he tells us how charities can become fully sustainable and independent by developing the skills needed to create products and services needed by the public. The social enterprise model is rich and flexible. Check out how Noam has used this to develop Seeducation, the social enterprise he co-founded.

Seeducation is trying to achieve is a movement; they want to host the world's greatest thinkers, movers, shakers, concepts and practical lessons in education, and build a world where knowledge is shared openly, where teaching and training is given because people realise it will actually benefit themselves and everyone else. Seeducation gives a voice for people to improve education and campaign for change, host a collection of free professional knowledge-share and training media and provide an intensive course for passionate and talented individuals that focuses on development through creativity and practical involvement in real-life projects, with the help of mentors, trainers and experts in their respective fields.
