<< Background >>The lockdown that led to high levels of unemployment is a major challenge for the future of the countries and the economies. This project will respond to that context with the design and experiment of a model network and learn for entrepreneurs to develop competencies.The purpose of the project is to improve and reinforce the young entrepreneurs' capacity to respond to the challenges that the labor markets are facing during the COVID-19 pandemic or will face on future similar challenges. The project seeks to foster cooperative learning environments, making them transformative and inclusive through the effective adoption of new methodologies, such as digital learning operationalized by the iNSPIRE Live Hub. The partnership is formed by 5 countries (Portugal, France, Turkey, Belgium, and Ireland).<< Objectives >>The iNSPIRE Social Entrepreneurs Network (iNSPIRE) project will create a learning HUB that will develop inspiring apprenticeships processes, based on the identification of transferable lessons from the formal and informal learning environment to support the development of a social entrepreneurship network in several European countries (Turkey, Portugal, Ireland, France, and Belgium).Ireland and Belgium have already an important background in social entrepreneurship and will contribute to creating a strong partnership to support and develop a European social cluster. Evidence from Ireland and Belgium shows that social entrepreneurship demonstrates great potential for employment growth.The iNSPIRE goal is to improve skills for social entrepreneurs and increase the potential for social enterprise creation. The project will engage diverse stakeholders in dialogue and cooperation including non-profit associations, universities, training providers, social innovation organizations, research centers, and public agencies. It will capture the experience, including learning mechanisms, approaches to management, and networking competencies from other projects in the social field, mainly developed by the partners, for instance, capacity building.<< Implementation >>The activities are organized as follows:WP1 Management activities. (Coordinated by France)WP2 Quality Management (Coordinated by Turkey)WP3– Dissemination of the project (Coordinated by Belgium)WP4– Evaluation of the project (Coordinated by Ireland)M1-4 - Transnational project meetings (4)Learning, Teaching, and Training ActivitiesLTTA - Train the Lecturers events (1 event: The iNSPIRE Live HUB Train the Mentors; Workplace Innovation Europe)Multiplier eventsiNSPIRE ÁGORA France; iNSPIRE ÁGORA Turkey; iNSPIRE ÁGORA Portugal; iNSPIRE ÁGORA Ireland; iNSPIRE ÁGORA Belgium<< Results >>iNSPIRE will make a further significant contribution to social innovation in learning and development, through the iNSPIRE Live HUB, using methodologies as storytelling of social projects already implemented - using the TEDx format, video learning tools, script learning materials, social media technologies to create a learning, knowledge exchange and collaboration framework for actual and potential social entrepreneurs at national and transnational levels within the EU. In a pilot exercise, 15 young unemployed people from each participating country will participate in the iNSPIRE LIve HUB through online learning that will help to create the network and also help them to design a social business model. The best social business models will be presented by the future social entrepreneurs to the stakeholders: crowdfunding institutions, business angels, government institutions, and other participants from each country of the consortium in an Ágora, assuming the format of an international market where the new entrepreneurs will have a spot/stand, with the information about their projects, and will do a pitch of 5 minutes to the audience, claiming for their attention. The presentations of the business models will also be transmitted online to facilitate the participation of all the countries of the consortium, and other invited participants. The project will impact the social entrepreneurship ecosystem of the countries, helping to create and boost the social entrepreneurship strategy of EU.The results are specifically:1.
