The project is supported by the European Commission and co-funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. It will run in four countries; Bulgaria, Greece, Poland and the UK.
Elie 2.0 builds on the previous work of the Eliemental project, but it is a stand-alone project (Please click the Eliemental tab for more information on the activities and successes of the Eliemental Project).
While the Eliemental programme develops soft skills for enterprise and employability, Elie 2.0 focusses on hard skills, such as bookkeeping, marketing and pricing. Elie 2.0 will include opportunities for people to learn through ‘real word’ projects.
There are invisible barriers which often prevent individuals from being entrepreneurial. By working with local communities and building from local knowledge, the Eliemental project aims to promote the creation of start up businesses.
The Elie 2.0 project aims to work with a range of groups who may be considered vulnerable to social exclusion.
At the heart of the Eliemental projects is the desire to give back to society, and provide training to people in THEIR community to suit THEIR needs.
The Elie 2.0 team are based in four countries; the UK, Poland, Greece and Bulgaria and will co-create a programme, together with their local communities to improve skills for enterprise and employability.
