A success story: EPISODE Closing Event

18 June 2025 – 11.00-12.30 Palestine time / 10.00-11.30 CEST online 

 

The webinar will be the opportunity to share the great achievements of the EPISODE project with anybody interested in deepening the concept of Social Digital Entrepreneurship and its valuable impact in the specific landscape of Palestine. Conceived as a journey through the project activities and milestones, the webinar will start with a quick glimpse into the Competence Framework, the Training of Trainers, up to the YEPISODE course delivered to 50 young entrepreneurs and senior students in entrepreneurship in Palestine. The key highlight of the event will be the testimonials of trainers, sharing insights into the YEPISODE training development and implementation, and of successful students who will showcase their work and projects. The EPISODE journey will then not end, but just pause to briefly look ahead at what is next.

The EPISODE project is co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union. It aims to empower continuing vocational education and training providers to enhance the resilience, digital readiness, and growth of social entrepreneurship, micro-businesses, MSMEs, and early-stage start-ups in Palestine, with a focus on producing public prosperity. The project is implemented by UNIMED, Birzeit University, An-Najah National University, Build Palestine, ALL DIGITAL.
