On Saturday, July 9th the Yunus Centre held an introductory workshop for students interested in participating in the Social Business Essay Competition 2011. At the workshop, Yunus Centre staff did a presentation on social business to familiarize the students with the concept. The students were then presented with two social problems and asked to come up with a social business to help solve that problem. This was a great experience for the Yunus Centre as well as the students! They got to exchange ideas and learn more about different perspectives on social business and it was great to see the students' eagerness to get involved.

Many schools and universities from all over Dhaka were represented at the workshop, including North South University, East West University, Dhaka University, IBA, AcExcel University and many more. Also in attendance, there were Bangladeshi students from America, Canada and Malaysia. We reminded the participants that the submission date is July 31, 2011.
