06 Oct Better Futures: Self-Starter Series Offers Free Workshops For Islington Residents

Better Space is excited to be launching the Better Futures: Self-Starter Series, a one-of-a-kind programme for Islington residents interested in learning entrepreneurial skills and building their confidence in how to employ themselves; in a socially and environmentally friendly way!

The workshops are free to attend and will be predominantly held online – with some in person sessions at Better Space. This series is brought to you by Better Space and Cambio! and has been designed to demystify the process of self-employment or starting a business whilst also equipping you with the knowledge, resource toolkit and network to consider this route to employment.

The sessions will be delivered online from 12 noon to 2pm, but participants are invited to come together for a kick off meet and greet lunch at Better Space on Wednesday 11th October, and are welcome to use the workspace to join the sessions each week.

Starting formally on Weds 18th October, then every Wednesday for 8 weeks, the series will cover the following topics:

Why ‘Social’ Self Employment?

Because the world, our local communities and you, need jobs that are sustainable and do good for people and the planet. The workshops will be flavoured with best practice and examples from the social enterprise ecosystem.

Better Space is an accessible coworking space focused on supporting social enterprises specifically, so all the workshops and programme we run will have social impact and good business at heart of them. Attending this series you will have the opportunity to meet the social enterprise businesses in this unique workspace community.

Who will be running the sessions?

Peter Ptashko, a social entrepreneur, educator and founder of Cambio! Consultancy will deliver the workshops each week, in collaboration with Better Space’s Community Manager, Gabriella Kisoi and Workspace Manager Sophie Eels.
