01 Aim of the project

The project Fem'trepreneur was designed for contributing to the dissemination of opportunities for young social entrepreneur women in a framework of gender equality, free of stereotypes and social stigmas along the communities in the Euro-Mediterranean region having as inspiration frameworks from Northen countries with more advances in the concerned topic.

Specific objective 1.

To contribute to the dissemination of the current opportunities for social innovation and social entrepreneurship for women in Euro-Mediterranean regions with a focus on sharing tools, resources and activities to ignite social entrepreneurship among young women and empower them to become changemakers in their societies.

Specific objective 2.
