Social Enterprise: The Experiences of Young People

Coming Soon...VIEW TRAILER

Transient Film Exchange produced a short film for the Prince's Trust, hosted by radio and television presenter Margherita Taylor.

The Social Enterprise Unit in The Third Sector commissioned The Prince's Trust to look at whether the young people it works with are interested in social enterprise and what support they need to get involved. As part of this study The Trust spoke to lots of young people to find out what they thought. What became clear is that while young people might have the passion and the capability to set up social enterprises, very few have even heard of the term before and those who have heard of it find it difficult to understand.

Transient Film Exchange produced a short in which young people talked about the experiences that they have had when setting up social enterprises. The aim of the film was to make it easier to understand what a Social Enterprise is, as well as the potential benefits and barriers. The video was also produced to show organisations working in the field and what support young people need to get involved.
