Our journey with the ESE project was very interesting and allowed the partnership to deepen or acquire skills on a topic that is fundamental today such as social entrepreneurship as a tool for social inclusion and involvement of young people in disadvantaged situations to allow them to acquire knowledge and skills to get out difficult situations.
Despite the COVID and the difficulties imposed by the pandemic, which in some moments interfered with the possibility of traveling and meeting in person, the great collaboration of all partners made it possible to overcome these difficulties, also thanks to the help of technological tools all the objectives set by the project were achieved.
A big thank you to all those who followed the path of the European Social Entrepreneur project, hoping that with our work we have been able to provide you with useful resources that you will always find available on our website and on our online platform.
