The aim of this activity was to have a workshop where the participants could present their social business ideas they created with the help of the youth educators. During the workshop, students were able to evaluate the social business ideas of other students and discuss the possibilities and opportunities to improve them. The best ideas were selected and business planning was done to facilitate the implementation of these ideas in a real business environment. Youth workers provided training and technical support to the trainees for the presentations.

This activity included presentations by the participants of social business ideas that they had developed during the project. After the presentations, all participants discussed in workshops and evaluated the social business ideas in terms of their potential positive effects social impact, their applicability in real life, the viability of the business, the scope (local, regional, national or international) of the enterprise. The best ideas were selected and the participants worked in teams to create business plans to develop these ideas into start-ups. In addition to that, the participants also visited successful social businesses in the country of venue and further discussed their social business ideas with their peers and trainers.

After the end of this activity, through the workshop and the evaluations of other social business ideas, participants were able to better understand the opportunities and obstacles that can arise when developing an idea into a business and are better equipped to make the right choices with the projects they wish to implement. In addition, they had a wealth of social enterprise ideas to choose from which they may develop into start-up businesses.
