Developing Capacities for Fostering Inclusive Entrepreneurial Ecosystems

The WeRin Project successfully launched the WeRin International Capacity Building Programme on gender, inclusivity, and entrepreneurial ecosystems in May 2023, hosted by Munster Technological University in Cork, Ireland.

The two-day face-to-face session was a scenario for discussing the implications of inclusive entrepreneurship for education and support programs. This capacity-building session aimed at developing the necessary skills to design and deliver more inclusive programmes in diverse European regions as a measure to promote the active consolidation of inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems.

The WeRin International Capacity Building Programme is the first step towards the development of the WeRin Local Capacity-Building Sessions in the five countries represented in the project: Croatia, Germany, Ireland, the Netherlands, and Turkey. Local sessions will transfer the knowledge and outcomes of the project to a wider regional entrepreneurial ecosystem. They will be delivered to educators, trainers and programme managers involved in promoting and supporting entrepreneurship.

The WeRin International Capacity Building Programme in Ireland gathered student entrepreneurs, educators, and programme managers in the field of entrepreneurship. It provided training on the pedagogical skills, knowledge, and attitudes necessary for utilising the WeRin Toolbox and delivering the WeRLearning Approach.

The event had inspirational keynote speeches such as “Women’s Entrepreneurship and Neoliberalism” by Dr Lorna Treanor from the University of Nottingham and “Understanding Women in Entrepreneurship: Inclusive Strategies for Education” by Professor Helle Neergaard from Aarhus University.

Additionally, the event immersed the participants in the six WeRin Principles:100% inclusivity, relatable role models, realistic picture of entrepreneurship, opportunity-driven entrepreneurship, visibility of support and finance, and structural ecosystem change. Each principle was enhanced with valuable resources, insights, and feedback to define the key dimensions of inclusive entrepreneurship. Each principle was enhanced with valuable resources, insights, and feedback to define the key dimensions of inclusive entrepreneurship.

The WeRin International Capacity Building Programme was an enriching experience for both the project team and the external participants. It fostered valuable discussions within the consortium, addressing the project's principles, future steps, networking opportunities, and most importantly, enhancing the commitment to promoting women's entrepreneurship in diverse regions.

We invite you to explore the resources gathered at WeRin Knowledge Port, organised according to the six WeRin Principles, here: https://werinproject.eu/activities/knowledge-port/
