The challenges of quarantine for the SEIS project

SEIS LogoIn addition to the challenges posed by the project objectives, at the time of the implementation of the intercontinental exchanges of young entrepreneurs we unexpectedly faced  an additional challenge in the form of quarantine due to the Corona virus outbreak.

Whether these and other remaining project activities will be implemented were discussed at an online meeting between the partners organised on 29th April 2020. The quarantine disrupted the timetable for the exchange of entrepreneurs between the participating countries. Some organizations managed to complete at least the first round of exanges, but not all.

 

In addition to the scheduled exchanges, 10 good practices from each country remain to be prepared for young social entrepreneurial practices, which will be gettered in a collection-book and can be used in the upcoming trainings. When they will be held? It depends on the abolition of measures related to the prevention of the spread of Corona virus in each country separately. In addition to the text content, there will be two videos telling and showing about social entrepreneurial activities. All these materials will be uploaded on an online platform, of which you will be notified in a timely manner.

The first impressions after the removal of some of the restrictions in Bulgaria related to the virus are a complicated situation for the work of social entrepreneurs and a sharp increase in the number of people in need of social support.

The last event - the International Conference is also under question, related to many trips and possible problems around them, but we will hope that everything will end successfully and if not all, then most of the planned goals will be achieved.
