Introducing Enactus Melbourne
Enactus (previously SIFE — Students in Free Enterprise) is a global social entrepreneurship organisation that aims to create sustainable businesses that will leave a positive impact on the society. At Enactus Melbourne, we place emphasis on the three pillars of Enactus.
Entrepreneurship
“Social entrepreneurs are not content just to give a fish or teach how to fish. They will not rest until they have revolutionized the fishing industry.” — Bill Drayton
From running design-thinking workshops to facilitating open discussions with startup founders, we have a passion to learn about the wide world that is entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is a buzzword that has escalated in the last few years, and remains a timeless focus at Enactus.
Action
“Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.” — William James
Action. This means to take courage and pursue the idea that you think might be impossible. To leave your comfort zone and try things you’ve never tried before — exploring the unknown guided by passion and a willingness to stay committed. The projects that Enactus have run and currently run would not have been possible without brave students looking to make a real impact.
Us
“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” — Helen Keller
Whilst our team is divided into different functional and project groups, ultimately we are as one — united by our passion for social enterprises and making society a better place. Meeting new people is part of the fun. Working with them together is magical. Creating long-lasting and meaningful relationships is eternal.
