Project Number: 2016-1-UK01-KA203-02456
Erasmus+ project “Social Enterprise Development, Education and Training Tools (SEDETT)” in United Kingdom, Ireland, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Italy and Spain.
Aimed at improving education and training for people involved in social enterprises (S.E.). This project, led by Glyndwr University in Wales, involves various partners from across Europe, including colleges and training agencies from countries like Ireland, Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Italy, and Spain. The initiative seeks to enhance the skill and capacities of the social enterprise sector at multiple levels: organizational, local, regional, national, and European.
Successful social enterprises in more developed parts of Europe have improved their organizational capacity and being able to attract investment. The focus must shift from merely seeking grants to demonstrating the impact of social enterprises, which will help them attract investors. Innovative solution are necessary for addressing social issues and attracting investors, which requires strong leadership and management.
In northern, central, and eastern Europem the concept of social enterprise is less recognized, especially as a means to combat youth unemployment and social exclusion. To address this gap, the project aims to create blended learning tools (SEDETT) to help social entrepreneurs assess their needs and provide resources for educators. These tools will be accessible and include an e-tool for identifying effective educational methods.
The target audience includes students, educators, research centers, and social enterprises looking to improve thir skills. The short-term goal is to build capacity in the social enterprise sector across Europe. The project aligns with the EU’s Education and Training Strategy 2020, which focuses on improving the quality of educationrelated to social enterprise and fostering lifelong learning and cross-border mobility. Overall, SEDETT aims to enhance education through technology and presonalized learning experiences.
