Divine Chocolate: A Case Study of a Social Enterprise
Divine Chocolate is proud of its history as a pioneering social enterprise which is now 45% owned by cocoa farmers in Ghana. As a contribution to Global Enterprise Week (16-22 November, 2009) Divine has produced a free Powerpoint presentation aimed at teachers focusing on business studies, enterprise or social enterprise. It showcases Divine Chocolate as an example of a successful social enterprise.
The presentation has comprehensive speaking notes and takes between 30 and 40 minutes to deliver in full. There is one version aimed at Key Stage 3 (11-14 year olds) and one aimed at Key Stage 4 (14-16 year olds).
The Case Study can be downloaded from http://www.tradingvisions.org/content/social-enterprise.
Note: You will be asked for your email address which will help us keep track of how widely it is being used and so we can contact you in future if we update the presentation or produce new social enterprise related resources. We will never pass your details on to any other organisation.
