SPRINGBOARD PROJECT WORKSHOP DAY 1

Lecture: THE ROLE OF YOUTHS IN CULTURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP

Facilitator: CATHERINE NGONGFI

Many industry observers have debated on the origin of entrepreneurship. The fact to note here is that most scholars who debate the origin of entrepreneurship are either Economists or Historians. The common forum accepts that the concept of ‘Entrepreneur’ is derived from the French concept entrepreneur, which matches closely with the English concept of business conduct; in this sense – “to undertake”. From the business point of view, to undertake simply means to start a business.
