Intro and pretask: What do you think about business in social and health care?

Is business only for making money? Is that the only driver for becoming an entrepreneur? Is business in social and health care somehow unethical? Or can it make good for people better services, more individual based approach? We have different ideas and attitudes towards entrepreneurship which result from e.g. family history, political approach, personal experiences, media...

The course of entrenepreneurship in social and health care is for gaining, sharing and reflecting about entrepreneurship and enhancing knowledge and skills what becoming and being an entrenepreneur entails especilly in the field of wellbeing services, which in Finland, are mostly produced by public sector. However, the share of private enterprises or cooperatives is already 25% in health care and nearly 1/3 in social services. Becoming an entrenepreneur is an option for employment also for professional in social services, the field most of the graduates from DP in Social Services will be engaged in future.

What are your thoughts of the words "entrepreneur" or "business" bring to your mind? Take photos or use old ones which resemble your ideas, thoughts, attitudes towards these words and write short comments to your pictures. Picture can also be a mind map or a drawing. Please also comments on each others' words.

This is mine- these are the things that I think entrenepreneurship needs: shameless activity (50%), motivation (35%) and skills (15%). I think that by doing, you learn a lot...but to be an entrenepreneur in social and health would require professional skills more than 15% still.
 
Also, I think, that good ethics mean good business.

See your pictures soon! ..Best UM
