Following our initial gatherings in Patras, Greece, and Barcelona, Spain, last week marked another milestone as OBCD partners convened in Helsinki, Finland, for the third transnational project meeting.
During these two days, our focus was on advancing project activities and preparing for the upcoming testing phase of the two training curricula developed as part of the project.
In addition to defining future activities for further developing the local ecosystems created within partner countries (Greece, Spain, Italy and Finland) to support social entrepreneurship, project partners had the opportunity to visit some social enterprises in the city of Helsinki, namely IPI Kulmakuppila and Lapinlahden Lähde.
Formerly a pioneer in mental health care in Finland and one of the oldest psychiatric hospitals in Europe, Lapinlahden Lähde has transformed into a center for art, culture, and well-being. It currently hosts various events, conferences, and debates.
In the upcoming weeks, our partners will actively participate in launching and testing the OBCD MOOC – an online training course tailored for professional roles unique to social enterprises, presenting potential avenues for new employment opportunities across Europe. This initiative includes the curricula for “Manager and Developers of Social Enterprises” (EQF5) and “Administrative Professional” (EQF6), among others. Stay tuned for more information on the OBCD MOOC!
