This week marks #GlobalEntrepreneurshipWeek24, (#GEWUK2024) and on Thursday, 21st November, we’ll be celebrating #SocialEnterpriseDay24—an opportunity to shout loud about the incredible work of social enterprises everywhere. We want you to join in and showcase your impact with the global #WhoKnew campaign.
This is your chance to connect with a worldwide audience, raise awareness of your work, and celebrate the difference you make in communities, economies, and the planet.
Get Involved with #WhoKnew
The #WhoKnew hashtag is all about highlighting the inspiring and sometimes surprising ways social enterprises make an impact. Here are some content ideas to help you share your story:
- Spotlight your journey: Share how your social enterprise began and what inspired your mission.
Example: “#WhoKnew our journey started with a simple idea to empower local artisans!” - Show your impact: Talk about the communities, causes, or people your work supports.
Example: “#WhoKnew this café trained 100 unemployed young people last year!” - Introduce your team: Celebrate the amazing people behind your enterprise.
- Behind the scenes: Offer a sneak peek into your day-to-day operations.
- Festive fun: Showcase your products or services with a seasonal twist.
Example: “#WhoKnew your Christmas gift helps rescue animals to have a cosy Christmas too!”
