"We had an opportunity to participate in an Erasmus + project Socially Inspired: Entrepreneurship for You(th) - a non-formal education that helps you develop a creative approach towards teamwork through interactive workshops. We have been discussing social entrepreneurship not only in Croatia but also on the international level. Friendly atmosphere created by the trainers professional in different fields of social entrepreneurship helped us understand that even though it's important to think in a socially responsible way, at the same time profit is crucial. The participants from other countries brought traditional sweets and snacks from their countries so we could learn about their culture. The training course was an excellent opportunity to connect with interesting people with the same interests as well as broadening our horizons. In short, it was a unique and valuable experience."
