First TPM of the FUTURE project in Braga (Portugal)
Last July, ASEID attended the Kick off Meeting of the cooperation partnership project in the field of youth education "Future - Entrepreneurship's FUTURE is green and digital", led by EducPro. In the implementation of this project, ASEID works closely with the European Office of the City Council of Sueca, which was already present at this first event.
Two representatives from each partner organization from Lithuania (Efektas Group), Greece (E-School Educational Group-Eu Projects), Romania (TEAM4Excellence) and Spain (ASEID Association for Employment, Inclusion and Development) participated and met in Portugal for the first Transnational Partner Meeting of this project.
During the meeting we discussed about green and digital competences for young workers and entrepreneurs, with the aim of strengthening their initiative, entrepreneurship and employability.
Together we plan all the activities of the project, which will lead to the creation of educational and training activities. Our objectives are to develop green, digital and entrepreneurial skills, with a special focus on innovative solutions to create sustainable and environmentally friendly businesses.
During the months of September and October, the first training modules that will shape the digital business coaching platform will be developed.
