The overall objective of our partnership is to provide an overview about projects, initiatives and methods which train, support and facilitate entrepreneurship for refugees and immigrants, especially in the field of IT entrepreneurship of women.
In order to reach this general objective, the specific goals are the following:
- To implement an E-Platform with an interactive database, searchable after various parameters, that describe and give access to initiatives, tools and methods and other materials that have been identified and collected in the course of the project. The E-Platform will provide information about policies, administrational settings, market conditions, training and education entrepreneurs, supporting programmes for immigrant-entrepreneurs, as well as initiatives about training skills and knowledge to generate creative ideas especially in IT based business for women.
- To elaborate a Catalogue “Support for Refugee Entrepreneurs” which will give an overview about the current situation of the specific project environment in the partners’ countries. It will be enriched with the outcomes of various meetings with experts in each partner country, ex.: transnational meetings and individual meetings with respective national and local vocational counselling organisations and representatives of our strategic partnership.
- To organise an Online Interactive Forum for exchange of experience and good practice that will promote networking and exchange activities not only among the partnership and VET organisations in their countries, but also on a European level. With new translation services, it will become possible to break down language barriers between users from different countries, and to foster exchange and assist initiatives that contribute to the European society as a whole.
The target groups of REFENT project are VET and adult organisations, labour organizations and other stakeholders that will make use of the identified and selected materials to design and offer respective measures for refugees who want to become entrepreneurs.
