For securing the best results of inclusive entrepreneurship awareness campaigns it is recommended to include the following activities:

  • Delivery of positive messages about inclusive entrepreneurship in the media
  • Outreach, awareness events and conferences at national, regional and local levels in collaboration with relevant stakeholders (e.g. business associations, chambers of commerce, professional associations, and community groups).
  • Creation of Ambassador networks, which actively promote entrepreneurship through informal and formal channels
  • Public celebration of inclusive entrepreneurship role models through entrepreneurship awards and the promotion of success stories.
  • Support for private sector-led initiatives, including business associations and entrepreneurship networks.

Each of these activities should seek to deliver positive messages that:

  • Highlight the value of entrepreneurship to wider society, especially organizations that support youth;
  • Address negative cultural biases towards entrepreneurs from groups that are typically under-represented
    or disadvantaged in entrepreneurship;
  • Raise awareness about different forms of entrepreneurship (e.g. part-time, social entrepreneurship);
  • Raise awareness of public and private sector support programs
  • Stimulate private sector-led initiatives.
