More than 20 experts from 7 different countries took part in the activities, over a three-week period, in a non-formal, stimulating, and fair virtual environment, where each expert could contribute with his/her own educational contribution. The main aim of Output is to provide these trainers/experts with theoretical and practical tools to help women to start their own business by transferring them a knowledge framework.
Participants opinion
Project partner organizations got feedback by participants, with a high rate of satisfaction and involvement. Some feedbacks. Magda R., from Greece: “I am really satisfied with attending these seminars because they filled many different gaps of mine. It was especially important for me to be informed about digital marketing, website development and how to get access to funds”. Alejandra M., from Spain: “I find the courses very interesting. Most of the speakers have good timing in their presentations”. Anastasia S., from Greece: “Given that women from disadvantaged groups have to be treated by the trainer with a particular sensitivity and empathy, these seminars I attended were very instructive and important to me”. Flavia, from Italy: “The presentations were very interesting and meaningful, speakers were very diverse and so were the perspectives they brought up in their speech. I appreciated when speakers managed to draw links among different presentations and when attendees made questions and shared their opinion on the topic presented”. Edoardo, from Italy: “I really enjoyed PAL’s presentations. Speakers did not just read the slides but presented the topics by adding information and reflections on the topic”.
