ARISE training course: promoting social inclusion of migrant women through entrepreneurship

How can we sustain social inclusion of migrant women and their access to the labour market?

How can we value their knowledges and foster the development of new entrepreneurship initiatives?

Thanks to ARISE we are organizing a training course for migrant women or refugees who wants to create a new enterprise.

The project aims to promote the entrepreneurship skills of the migrant women through the acquisition of competences useful in the creation of income generating activities, related to food and other productive sectors.
