THE MULTIPLIER EVENT OF ERA+ PROJECT
The Multiplier Event of our KA2 project, ERA+ was held on the 13th May 2017 at Hotel Asya.
We were pleased to see that many participants from various sectors turned up at the event, which was proof enough to show the interest the large number of people and organisations have taken in our project!
The main objective of the meeting was to share information about the two intellectual outputs the Project has delivered, namely, Step by Step Guide for potential young entrepreneurs in the partner countries which offers knowledge, suggestions and tips for young entrepreneurs in rural areas, good practice examples,the legislation which regulates entrepreneurship in the partner countries and examples of social entrepreneurship.
The second intellectual output is the training program which is used on the e-learning platform and the business plans which have been developed after the online training.These business plans were developed by international teams of trainees on the virtual laboratuary.

ERA+ Project Activity: e-Entrepreneurship Training
Our young trainees completed their e-training about entrepreneurship successfully this week.The eLearning was offered by our current KA2 Strategic Partnership project, ERA+. Ten trainees from each partner organisation participated in the training. The innovative curriculum was developed by the Consortium and focused on topics related to entrepreneurship. The next step is to develop feasible business plans in transnational groups.
The subject of the last meeting was the state of social entrepreneurship in the partner countries and persons and/or global organisations who are also leading social entrepreneurs. It was also noted thorough the good practice examples that social entrepreneurs are quite successful in handling problems.Yet, they need more resources , further support from all social actors and specific legislation.
