Social Economy Entrepreneurship Development Skills (SEEDS) is a Capacity Building project in the field of Youth co-funded by the European Union under Erasmus+ programme. The project consists of a team representing 9 countries (4 from Latin America and 5 from Europe) and its duration is two years (March 2015 – February 2017).
The aim of the project is to contribute to the development of the social economy and social entrepreneurship practice in the non-governmental sector, as an instrument for achieving financial self-sustainability and organizational development.
The project has three main objectives:
● Promote the concept and practice of social economy among the local communities and the NGOs involved in the project;
● The creation of a competence development instrument in the area of social entrepreneurship and project management by creating and testing a fit-all workshop and training modules toolkit;
● The development of a framework for cross-sectoral sharing of good practices between social entrepreneurship ventures and NGOs
During the implementation phase there will be several training courses, job-shadowing placements, visibility tools development, creation of toolkit for NGOs, testing of the toolkit in local communities and up-date it based on the results. The first meeting of the project will take place in Florina, Greece, between 10-15 of June 2015 under the responsibility of Association of Active Youths of Florina, the beneficiary of the project.
More details about the project you can find in the dissemination platform of the European Commission.
