On March 25–26, 2025, the “First SKILLS Call Beneficiaries’ Mutual Learning Event” took place in Bologna, hosted by the European Competence Centre for Social Innovation. The event brought together 20 EU-funded projects focused on supporting NEETs (young people not in employment, education, or training), with a total budget of €9.2 million.
The BEES Project was represented by the Santiago de Compostela Chamber of Commerce and the EOI (School of Industrial Organization). During the event, they had the opportunity to:
- Connect with coordinators from other innovative European projects.
- Learn from successful approaches implemented in countries like Italy and Finland.
This participation allowed the BEES Project team to strengthen partnerships, exchange best practices, and gain fresh insights to better support rural youth entrepreneurship in Europe.
The event proved to be a valuable platform for enhancing the impact of Social Innovation Initiative through shared learning and European cooperation.
