Conceptualising an escape game on social entrepreneurship
3. Defining social entrepreneurship skills
3.1 What are social entrepreneurship skills?
Social entrepreneurship combines entrepreneurial thinking with social responsibility. It requires a blend of cognitive, social, and emotional skills that enable individuals to identify problems, design solutions, mobilise resources, and measure impact.
Key skill areas include:
- Opportunity recognition for social good
- Creative problem-solving
- Leadership and teamwork
- Ethical decision-making
- Financial and resource management
- Impact assessment and sustainability thinking
Activity: Fill in the blanks
3.2 Selecting priority skills for the escape game
Not all skills can or should be addressed in a single escape game. Creators should select 3-5 priority skills that are:
- Relevant to the chosen social challenge
- Appropriate for the target audience
- Realistically achievable within the game duration
Examples of priority skills:
- Collaborative decision-making under time pressure
- Budget planning with limited resources
- Evaluating social impact versus financial sustainability
- Adapting strategies based on feedback or failure
