The SocEntrep Erasmus+ co-funded project was launched in November 2021 to support the growing number of social entrepreneurs in the partner countries. The project comprises three stages – (i) research & development of social entrepreneurial activity in the partner countries; (ii) design, development and production of accredited online educational programme in social entrepreneurship; (iii) implementation of pilot accredited online programme and feedback.
Stage 1 – ARPEL process has been completed successfully in January 2023 and a total of 67 students have successfully registered for the first intake of this programme. The students have commenced Stage 2 – Course Modules in February. They are currently following the various course modules through the eLearning platform which gives them access to the self-learning and collaborative elements of the modules. Once these are completed, they would need complete Stage 3 which is the final project stage.
Plans are being made for the publication and disseminate the findings of the research study and feedback from the pilot intakes students enrolled for the Social Entrepreneurship programme. The results and dissemination material will also be crucial to ensure its sustainability after the Erasmus+ funded project. The experience of the participants during the programme will be particularly relevant in identifying any support that may be required by such participants.
