angel community project
London
The ASEAN Network for Green Entrepreneurship and Leadership (ANGEL) is co-funded
with the ERASMUS+ programme of the European Union (Capacity Building in the
field of Higher Education). ANGEL project is a convergence of ASEAN partner
institutions’ responses to the strong need for capacity-building while
confronting challenges of environmental degradation. In addition, ANGEL aims to
support graduates as well as disadvantaged groups to attain a decent income
which is derived from quality employment, and enhanced with
entrepreneurial-leadership skills. Another goal is to help improve
inclusiveness, because gender and other demographic divides exist and derail
wealth creation across the ASEAN nations. The mission of ANGEL is to engender
impact and transformation for two major target stakeholders of each partner
institution in Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Vietnam and Malaysia. The first
target group is the internal stakeholders, namely students, academic and
non-academic staff, and top management. Within the context of Southeast Asian
institutions, the green entrepreneurial mindset and transformational leadership
skills and competencies are still new concepts and less implemented. The second
target group of ANGEL are the disadvantaged groups within societies in Cambodia,
Indonesia, Lao PDR, Vietnam and Malaysia. This includes women and minorities,
poor income groups in both urban and rural communities as well as people with
disabilities (PWD). The Asian partners are supported by universities and
institutions from Greece and Cyprus.
