Date of latest update: 2023-11-16

Description

Description (EN):

This bridge project is going to deal with how to develop social entrepreneurship in rural areas in the Northern Periphery. It will clarify the approach, methods, and project design for a future project. Swedish, Norwegian, Irish, and Scottish partners will map and exchange experiences and knowledge about best practices for social entrepreneurs and how to facilitate start-ups and upscaling in remote communities. The project emphasizes a bottom-up approach where social entrepreneurs who have succeeded themselves play key roles as experts by experience in dialogs and knowledge building. The project will provide significant added value in form of knowledge that emerges from a collaboration between social entrepreneurs, incubators, and academics across the involved countries. Through comparison of systems and structures in different countries, the project will draw lessons from conditions that social entrepreneurs must relate to, as well as impacts of appropriate facilitation, support measures, and knowledgeable entrepreneurial management that improves success. Impacts of collaboration climate between local actors, attitudes among inhabitants, and access to local resources is also relevant factors to look upon in a pre-study. Project meetings will be held both as digital meetings and physical attendance and study visits in the various partner countries.
