– Includes 19 videos, five country reports, all learning materials
Learning from across Europe about community enterprises, a subset of social enterprises, has been shared online for interested parties, following the completion of an Erasmus+ sponsored project called ComEnt.
Partners in six countries collaborated over two years to produce reports, case- studies (including 19 videos), learning materials and policy recommendations.
A course was held as part of the project and students who participated between September and December of last year received a Certificate in Community Enterprise (NFQ Level 8). The course aimed at enabling community workers, social innovators and mentors to better support social enterprises.
Five reports were produced, and the Irish report looks at social enterprise in practice, case-studies, and policy recommendations. There are also reports from Austria (in English), Bulgaria, Italy and Romania.
The Technological University of the Shannon (TUS) was the lead partner for the ComEnt project.
