Third edition of training “Entrepreneurs for Social Change” organized by United Nations Alliance of Civilizations and Fondazione CRT was held in Turin. From over 1200 applications from all over the Euro-Mediterranean region only 20 young social entrepreneurs were selected and one of them was our Dunja. During the training with mentors, trainers and last year’s participants we had opportunity to learn about all aspects of successful business development. Some of the topics that we covered on the workshops were: motivation, leadership, storytelling, pitching, fundraising… We also worked on our business models.
During our stay in Turin we had opportunity to visit some of the social enterprises, coworking space, La Stampa headquarters and to meet mayor.
International contacts and other people’s view were significant for our development. The BeoQuest idea was recognized as something with big potential and invitations for future partnerships opening a lot of new possibilities for us. This is just the beginning of a story since after training we have 9 months opportunity to work with mentors in order to empower our social impact, to draw attention on Belgrade’s cultural heritage and create new work places for youngsters.
We hope that enthusiasm and positive energy, that participants brought with them, will have significant imprint on all projects development as it will influence us. Hopefully soon our paths will cross again and somewhere we will meet E4SC people.
