Digital Storytelling Skills for Sustainable Social Enterprises
The Erasmus+ Project 2024-1-NL01-KA210-ADU-000254862
The primary aim of this project is to develop the digital storytelling competences of social and sustainable businesses to enhance their visibility, expand their client base, and promote their innovative ideas to potential investors and international business partners. By improving their communication skills, these enterprises will be better equipped to scale their social and environmental impact across borders, contributing to a transition towards a circular economy.
Expected Results:
- Enhanced Digital Storytelling Skills: Social enterprises will gain the ability to effectively communicate their missions through engaging digital stories, increasing their reach to clients, investors, and partners.
- Increased Visibility: Sustainable businesses will experience heightened visibility and recognition across international markets, boosting their opportunities for collaboration and growth.
- Advancement of Sustainability Goals: By raising awareness of the social and environmental challenges these enterprises address, the project will foster greater support for sustainable business models and practices within the EU.
- Economic Empowerment of Vulnerable Groups: Social enterprises that support vulnerable groups will see increased economic participation, contributing to a more inclusive and resilient society.
- Cross-border Collaboration: The partnership between the Netherlands and Bulgaria will provide mutual learning opportunities, encouraging the sharing of innovative business practices and technological solutions that promote sustainability.
- Setting a benchmark: By sharing the results with educators, businesses, and social enterprises across the EU, this project will set a benchmark for the use of digital storytelling to scale the impact of sustainable enterprises.
