The content of the course is the sole responsibility of the DAISSy/Hellenic Open University research team and can in no way be considered to reflect the position of the European Union and/or the principles of the ADRION project.
The course was implemented in the framework of the project “REInSER: Economic Integration of Refugees through Social Entrepreneurship”. The main objective of the REInSER project is to contribute to improving the prospects of refugees for economic, and, more broadly, social integration in the host countries of the Adriatic-Ionian region, by using social economy approaches and, in particular, those of social entrepreneurship. The long-term objective of the REInSER project is to increase the opportunities for refugees to become professionally active and actively seek integration into their host societies, and to contribute to sustainable local and regional development by creating new jobs and new socially responsible enterprises.
The REInSER project is implemented by 8 partners (academic institutions, business support organisations and local authorities) from 6 countries of the Adriatic-Ionian region (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Italy, Serbia and Slovenia).
