Social Entrepreneurship and Social Economy for everyone

The project "Social Entrepreneurship and Social Economy for everyone" aims to strengthen the position of social entrepreneurship in the information and legislative field of the Republic of Moldova. At the same time, the project contributes to sustainable economic development and increased resilience to future crises by promoting social entrepreneurship and social economy. The aim of the project will be achieved through various activities such as organising webinars and offline events, running an information campaign on social entrepreneurship, organising a public event as part of the Social Entrepreneurship Month and advocating for the inclusion of key SE concepts in state strategic documents. Expected outcomes include a favourable information environment with relevant and inspiring materials on social entrepreneurship, new connections and useful knowledge in the field gained by beneficiaries, and favourable legislative changes for the sector. In this way, we will continue and ensure the sustainability of EcoVisio's activities but also of the whole community of social entrepreneurs over the past years.
