Social Enterprises Sustainability Network
Project description
SENSENET project is focused on creating a learning network model to support SEEs (Social Economy Enterprises) and SEOs (Social Economy Organizations) managers and human resources who face challenges in dealing with the recruitment, welcome and retention of vulnerable people, in particular people with disabilities. The project will specifically aim to raise awareness on social economy and its importance as an engine of social innovation.
