The Social Seed project ended

On 30th June 2022, we finalised the almost 3-year-long project Social Seed co-financed by the Erasmus+ programme. The very last Project Partner Meeting took place in Barcelona, in FI Group (Project leader) headquarters on 27-28th June 2022. Anna Dudziak represented BISER during the final TPM and supported the Project leader and Partners in the final discussion on the project outcomes.

The 30 months project aims to design a new methodology to incubate socially excluded groups into entrepreneurs – with an innovative approach- supported by private companies.

In detail:

  • we designed an incubation methodology for excluded groups to entrepreneurs.
  • we organised the 4th edition of the social incubator in Valencia, Spain (Assoc. Con Valores)
  • we created a new business model of cooperation between companies & NGOs.
  • we developed a formative MOOC/e-learning course focused on the needs and limitations of those entrepreneurs (excluded groups) – www.socialseedproject.eu
  •  we innovated on economically sustainable business models to restart a dignified life.
  •  we promoted our tool for entrepreneur ecosystems’, NGOs, private companies, public administrations, etc.

The main goals of SOCIAL SEED in its 30 months of duration were:

  • Design an incubation methodology for excluded groups for entrepreneur
  • Build up a social incubator
  • Create a new business model of cooperation between companies & NGOs.
  • Develop a formative course focused on the needs and limitations of those entrepreneurs (excluded
    groups)
  • Innovate on economically sustainable business models to restart a dignified life.
  • Reach as many people as possible with this tool for entrepreneur ecosystems: NGOs, private companies, public administrations, etc.

At the meeting In Barcelona, we were happy to summarise and share all gained knowledge and best practices. We also divided the tasks regarding the final project reporting and discussed the future possible projects and activities among the project partners.
