The project was held in Armilla town, Granada, May 15th to April 24th, 2023, and was funded by the EU Commission under the Erasmus+ Programme. The theme of the project was „Social Entrepreneurship for Changemakers,” focusing on how to solve social problems using social entrepreneurship.
The project utilized non-formal learning methodologies to provide a unique and engaging learning experience.
