In 6 consecutive lessons, participants will develop their own blended learning course or lecture. The course itself is conceived as a blended learning course, supported by weekly online meetings in ZOOM. To profit from the course, we strongly recommend to dedicate 1,5 to 2 hours each week to the weekly lesson on moodle and to participate in all the weekly ZOOM meetings. You will be rewarded by having planned your course for the next semester. Welcome to all of you!

- when we want to convince people of an idea
- when we want to teach our students
- when we want to inspire people to action.
Telling a good story supports us to make meaning and to help others to understand better why and what we are talking about. We are all "storytellers". And we all can learn how to use this art for
- teaching and explaining
- convincing people to support us, our project or our ideas.

This course has been created as a joint project of several African universities together with HSWT to provide digital lectures for entrepreneurs around the world who are planning to start their own food business. These lectures are supplemented with coaching activities at various food incubators and face to face lectures at the respective universities. Examples are drawn from local backgrounds and relevant for students from different parts of the world, as much as possible.
The course is set up in 3 different modules which build up on each other and interlink throughout the course. The first module covers topics related to entrepreneurship. The second module looks into topics related to setting up and managing a food business, while the third topic gives in-depth information on topics related to food processing.
The course is supposed to stretch over a whole semester, providing 3 ECTs. Lectures are supplemented with assignments, which help the student to transfer the knowledge to real life situations, in the true spirit of the HSWT applied sciences approach. Students do not have to pass a final exam but to submit several pieces of work throughout the course. They also have to actively take part in forum discussions and interactive tasks. At the end of the course students who have submitted all required work are issued a certificate.
