As a temporary employee of the Norwegian Unversity of Science and Technology (NTNU), part of my work involves contributing to the Erasmus+ Strategic Cooperation project Mastering 9 Conversations. We (9 Conversations) developed a programme to support refugees wanting to start their own business in their new host country and then we (Mastering 9 Conversations) developed a train the facilitator course. But that is not enough and we are developing a comprehensive set of tools and materials that form an integrated whole to enable refugee support organisations to offer this up to nd including a business plan template on how the programme will fit into their activities. One of the issues has been offering credible certification so part of our package is to offer a range of options for certification should it be needed. Find out more in our latest newsletter. The options range from EU to commercial all the way to DIY.
The developing story of the current project can be followed in the newsletters issued to date.
