Proiectul & obiectivele
Proiectul The SustainABLE: Raising a New Generation of Young Entrepreneurs project aims to support 150 young entrepreneurs from Romania, Lithuania, and France in acquiring the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to develop a sustainable business through a series of training, mentoring, and networking sessions. At the end of the project, 400 current and future entrepreneurs will also benefit from a higher level of awareness regarding the advantages of sustainable entrepreneurship.
In each country, two editions of a training programme for young entrepreneurs will be organized in a blended format, each lasting three months and involving 50 young entrepreneurs. All participants will complete 12 training modules covering the following topics: strategic planning; leadership and team management; product development; business carbon footprint; creation of sustainable business solutions; branding and sales; financial sustainability; digital tools and automation; target audiences in sustainable businesses; inclusive practices in sustainable businesses; social impact and scaling; sustainability legislation and regulations.
In addition, the project will organize five offline hackathons in each country and one international online hackathon, aimed at engaging young people studying entrepreneurship in sustainability-related topics. To strengthen the knowledge gained during the training and mentoring sessions, participating young entrepreneurs will also benefit from six study visits in each country to existing sustainable businesses across the three partner countries.
The SustainABLE: Raising a New Generation of Young Entrepreneurs project is co-funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ Programme and is implemented between March 2024 and December 2025 by a consortium of three non-governmental organizations: CSR Nest Association (Romania), En Root (France), and Society and Enterprise Development Institute (SEDI – Lithuania).
