The ComEnt Project kicked off last week with a virtual meeting involving partners from Ireland, Germany, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania and Austria.
This project focuses on fostering community-led and community owned enterprises for promoting civic engagement. By community enterprise this project refers to an organisation owned and managed by the community, whose mission and vison are centred on serving individuals from a defined geographical area (predominantly disadvantaged locations) and/or communities of interest (predominantly marginalised groups in society).
The main objective of ComEnt project is to develop a blended learning educational programme (and associated teaching & learning resources) for higher education institutions, accrediting agencies and social entrepreneurs on the innovative topic of community enterprise development.
Limerick Institute of Technology (the project coordinator), illustrated to the consortium an overview of the project and clarified the roles of each partner. Now that everything is set up the partnership cannot wait to start collaborating.
An official kick-off meeting in Ireland is coming soon... Stay tuned!
