Play chess online athttp://www.sparkchess.com/, or a video of the educational tool). 2. Board game: Dostihy a sazky (horse races and bets) A classic Czech pre-revolution monopoly clone. Buy horse champions and place them in your stable. Earn money when other players visit your stable, lose money when you visit theirs. Hire trainers, draw cards of luck and finances, place bets on horses. Last player not bankrupt wins the game. One of few "modern" board games available before 1989 revolution in former Czechoslovakia. The game develops our skills in these areas: strategy, flexibility, readiness, communication (hanggling with prices), capability for risking and pfrediction. I think that all these values are vital for every social entrepreneur. The link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byxxcX9Ar3U 3.

Matteo Calautti states that his sport, basketball, could be a right metaphor regarding Social Entrepreneurship.

Xristos Politis TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a global set of conferences run by the private nonprofit organization Sapling Foundation, under the slogan "Ideas Worth Spreading". TED's early emphasis was technology and design, consistent with its Silicon Valley origins, but it has since broadened its focus to include talks on many scientific, cultural, and academic topics. Today, one of these topics is social entrepreneurship, too. As a result, there are many relevant videos available in Youtube. I post just some of them here: 1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvq9YgoJabY 2)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v =0iIh5YYDR2o 3)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl8c5ooHfWs 4)https://www.youtube .com/watch?v=6xh9H5XuO40 5)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8LVa9pb-n8 19 Violeta Bajmaku https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/253146 This article is about influence of celebrities to social entrepreneurship and how they can support good ideas through their glory.
