During the first months of the UPthEM project lifetime, the partnership was engaged in conducting a desk research aiming to provide a state of the art/current situation on existing policies, practices and aspects of fostering entrepreneurship among disadvantaged groups with emphasis on adult learning. The objective is not only to collect best practices but to get a detailed idea on the current situation and to improve what we already have by bringing new ideas.

The Research is dedicated to the analysis of the particular needs of the learners, educators and employers in the participating countries. Based on the analysis further steps will be taken to improve educators’ capacities, enhance their skills and provide them with a training programme to carry out the effective learning of adults from disadvantage background in gaining entrepreneurship skills and knowledge.
