Abstract

The purpose of the present paper is to develop the key messages for social entrepreneurship education promotion among socially vulnerable youth. The scope of the research includes the communicative specificities of the vulnerable students with a special focus on orphans. The data for the research was obtained by conducting 12 expert interviews with educators and NGO members (2021-22, qualitative methodology). The results of the research showed that orphan students tend to hide their status and appear “average” in communication, though are more closed than their peers. It is discussed that communication with vulnerable students at HEI has to avoid treating them as special and motivate them to participate by messages of the personal empowerment and knowledge necessity to be autonomous and successful social subject. In conclusion, we propose the guidelines for educators’ communication with vulnerable youth and key messages for the inviting communication of the «Creative Spark.
