PEN Entrepreneurship Week 2025 – PEN Worldwide Events

What is it?

PEN Entrepreneurship Week 2025 is a recurring Social Media Competition organized by the Practice Enterprise Network PEN Worldwide. This year’s topic “Practice Enterprise to Social Impact” highlights how Practice Enterprise learning can contribute to a more sustainable world and create social impact. It takes place during Global Entrepreneurship Week 2025. Together, we’ll explore how Practice Enterprises can make a real impact through the lens of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Your Mission: Choose one of the 17 SDGs and show us how your Practice Enterprise makes a contribution. Whether it’s reducing waste, promoting equality, or supporting sustainability – your Practice Enterprise has the power to inspire change.

Get Creative: Brainstorm with your team, dive into your enterprise’s values and actions, and bring your ideas to life in a short video (60–180 seconds). Think storytelling, visuals, and teamwork!

Share & Inspire: Post your video on social media, tag us, and add the contest hashtag. We can’t wait to see your creativity in action and see how your enterprise leads with purpose.
