Entrepreneurship trainings for sustainable development are running now face-to-face and online

Local trainings will offer the opportunity to improve entrepreneurship activities among rural populations.

ELIST_Logo_FINAL (1)The ELIST training programme was developed for young managers in agriculture sector and tourism, young people and women (rural and urban periphery) and adult learning practitioners. With a total duration of 72 hours the training course follows a blended learning approach and covers entrepreneurship topics that were clearly highlighted by the target groups during a research and survey implemented in the participating countries. Topics such as strategic planning, creativity and innovation, networking, how to access international markets, human resource management were mentioned with potential of improvement and included with a hands-on approach in the training programme. In order to prepare a solid basis for sustainable impact in the regions one focus is given to capacity building of rural population and communities with the special support of a mentoring programme (additional 12 hours). The European funding programme Erasmus+ will co-finance the activities implemented in Italy, Bulgaria, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Turkey and Austria.

 The training contents are ready to be tested in the participating countries. Some countries focus on online testing whereas other offer face-to-face training sessions. All testing activities will run from 21 March to 20 April 2016.

Places for training participants are limited but still available. Interested people should simply contact the responsible partners in the individual countries at http://e-list.eu.
