MyCommunity! Heroes for Smart Community in Malaysia
Description *
MyCommunity Heroes is an educational and action-packed social entrepreneurship program targeted towards Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission's Smart Community districts which are Putrajaya, Langkawi, Kota Belud, Lundu and Kemaman. The program aims to equip the students with fundamental skills of social entrepreneurship where they will identify social problem they want to address in their community and develop a social enterprise to solve the issue. Updates and awareness will be spread through social media platforms to reach out to public on the ongoing social projects. Through connecting the community and public with the power of internet, the outreach will expand and thus reducing a great amount of social issues in the community.
