Idea description This idea is based on inclusion of community development into the

educational curriculum of the IEDC School of Business and Management.

The solution is focused on that students make reflexive analyzes of developing countries comparing them with developed ones in order to identify its principal needs in terms of business education and management.

IEDC students will work along with rural communities of developing countries to offer them basic knowledge of resource management and enterprise establishment.

This enables people from developing countries to learn about sustainability, leadership, entrepreneurship and development supported by IEDC students that will also improve their better understanding of sustainability while developing sustainable projects in rural communities to face the most emerging issues of the living context.

Objectives To increase awareness of current

disparity between developed and -in growth economies of the world.

To promote relationships between IEDC students of economy, finance and management with social entrepreneurs of developing countries to generate sustainable projects of change in these communities.

To enhance local-rural leadership and sustainable enterprise projects, potentiating strengths of communities and transforming weaknesses into opportunities for development.
