Whole training was based on experience of both trainers which was delivered through non-formal education methods. Natali is professional in area of social entrepreneurship, sustainability and green economy. Lukas has spent some years in business and was responsible for structural part of the project.
Activities with participants were based on shared knowledge and open discussion based on use of lean canvas as a main tool enhanced for some exercises to help participants to understand each area better.
Through out the mutual cooperation with Natali we were able to take participants from rough idea to clear image of their social business proposal with deep understanding. We managed to also facilitate sharing of differences between countries and their stance towards social enterprises, so they could learn from that. Main outcomes were their projects which after all some of them realised either in their original scale or started smaller with projects.
My responsibilities were to facilitate practical part of the project and help participants understand business structure and help make their projects sustainable. Meaning that their project would be able to live from their own activity. Together with Natali we were responsible for delivering whole project and its content while each of us was mainly responsible for their part and supported the other one in theirs.
