BACKGROUND  

Youth play a crucial role in today's economy, with more innovation and ideas originating from teenagers and young adults. According to the Guardian report (2019), more than 80% of the start-ups in 2019 were dominated by youth-led groups, which is a testament to their resilience. Furthermore, there is mounting evidence pointing out that youth-led entrepreneurship/venture has a more robust rate of success in terms of time, social impacts, and financial results (Kim et al., 2020; Viguria, 2015). Not to mention, since the majority of the ASEAN member states have a sizable population of youth under 35, instilling the core values of social entrepreneurship would be a good step towards economic education in this increasingly globalised world. The effectiveness of the social enterprise model is evident. Since last year, social enterprises have been at the forefront of addressing COVID-19, from creating biometric identification systems and scaling community-based screening to delivering microfinance loans to the extremely poor and vulnerable (Bonnici & Raja 2020). This power to address COVID-19 is also present in the ASEAN region. Many young social entrepreneurs are redesigning their operations, skills, and creativity to help the local community mitigate the pandemic's social and economic impacts (SDSN Youth 2020; UNDP 2020).

Considering the imperatives and potential ability of social enterprises in leading the recovery process post-COVID, the ASEAN Foundation is committed to acknowledging the contribution of social enterprise in leading the recovery process and solving the socio-economical problem in the region. Thus, to support social enterprises in the region, the ASEAN Foundation, with the support from GIZ on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and SAP, proudly delivers ASEAN Social Enterprise Development Programme (ASEAN SEDP). The programme aims to provide social enterprises with more significant opportunities to improve their ventures through structured capacity building, mentorship, financing, and access to marketplaces. This year, ASEAN-SEDP is focusing on the theme of "Social Innovations for the Sustainable ASEAN Community". The programme is targeting a total of 20 selected social enterprises from 10 ASEAN Member States (AMS) with innovative projects that focus on six SDGs: (1) No Poverty, (2) Good Health and Well-Being, (3) Quality Education, (4) Gender Equality, (5) Responsible Consumption and Production, and (6) Climate Action.  

As the programme is currently implemented, the ASEAN Foundation is planning to develop series of a promotional videos for the programme. The series of promotional videos will function to explain and communicate significant elements of the programme to a broader audience, such as (1) Three Seed Grants Recipients of ASEAN SEDP, (2) Testimony videos from coaches, mentors and participants highlighting the coaching and mentoring components of the programme, (3) 3 Inspiring videos from the Social Enterprises under ASEAN SEDP, (4) and one final video highlighting the overall achievements and implementation of the programme.
