<< Background >>This project was a continuation of an earlier collaboration between the partners, established as part of the KA1 project. Our intention was to deepen the topics common to both organisations, i.e. developing a training toolkit for trainers working with future and start-up social entrepreneurs, particularly in the field of the circular economy. From the Polish perspective, it was important to learn from real experts - Brittany is the most advanced region in France in terms of the development of the social and solidarity economy. For the French partner, issues related to the training of animators and leaders of social organisations, implemented in Poland as part of training cycles, were particularly interesting. Our common need was to put into perspective our working methods, to develop them, to extend them with new tools, and to get to know better the French and Polish realities related to the possibilities of educating and supporting future social entrepreneurs who employ socially excluded people through their activities. << Objectives >>The aim of the project was to develop educational programmes for the coaching staff of ESWIP and RICH'ESS associations to be used when working with social economy entities and to improve the quality of education in social economy support centres (OWES). Through the implementation of this project, we wanted to broaden our knowledge on the above-mentioned topics, expand our tool base and learn about and confront our approach to educating and supporting future social entrepreneurs, who are an important target group of our educational activities. We wanted to improve the competences of the staff of both organisations in supporting social entrepreneurs, also in the context of values and social utility, which are particularly important when setting up social enterprises. Their aim is not only to bring financial benefits, but also human benefits, by supporting excluded people, bringing them back to the labour market and caring for the environment in the spirit of sustainable development.<< Implementation >>1) Workshop in France on the application of the BMC methodology for the creation of social entreprises in the spirit of circular economy (https://tiny.pl/dp456) 2) Workshop in France on the Ideator methodology for the creation of social entreprises (https://tiny.pl/dp45v) 3) Training in Poland on the animation system for social entreprises on the basis of the experience of ESWIP (programme attached)4) Training in France on incubation of social entreprises (https://tiny.pl/dp453) 5) Training in Poland on the education of adults on the circular economy and the inclusion of socially excluded people in social enterprises (programme attached)6) A booklet on the Polish and French system of supporting the social economy 7) Dissemination events in Poland and France8) Development of a Polish-French tool base for individual training programmes<< Results >>- 22 persons from both organisations participated in trainings and workshops - 5 trainings for employees of partner organisations took place - 3 events for dissemination of the project and its results- Polish-French tools for educators working in the field of social entrepreneurship support were created (https://eswip.pl/projekty/56) - a spot promoting these tools was produced, a film promoting these tools in Polish and French version was produced (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QJq-3BfJRI)- a publication presenting reflections on Polish and French approach to social economy development and supporting entrepreneurs was produced (https://eswip.pl/publikacje/132) - employees of both organisations improved their professional competences in animation and conducting trainings for adults - partner organisations gained experience in implementing international cooperation projects - good practices concerning methods and tools supporting social entrepreneurs were exchanged
