DO Impact Trainings

Capacity Building training for Social Economy Enabling Organisations

What are these programmes about?

The programmes are part of the DO Impact Strategy, created to provide Social Economy Enabling Organisations and SMEs with the tools, knowledge, and resources needed to thrive in today’s evolving market. They focus on strengthening digital skills, improving data management, and supporting sustainable practices.

The programme is first delivered to organisations that enable SMEs within the PSE ecosystem and then tailored for local SMEs. The methodology ensures we address specific regional needs and priorities.

Who can join?

Social Economy Enabling Organisations, meaning entities that support and promote the development and functioning of the Proximity and Social Economy ecosystem by managing a network of social economy organisations (such as cooperatives, mutual benefit societies, associations, foundations, and social enterprises), creating networking opportunities, providing direct support to them, etc.

Social Economy Enabling Organisations have an important role in driving the digital transformation/transition of SMEs/entities working in the social economy sector.

What do we offer?

8 transnational workshops (5 in person and 3 online) focusing on upskilling social economy enabling organisations to upskill in terms of understanding and being able to deliver Digital and Data-Driven Programs.

Participants are encouraged to fully engage in this learning journey by attending as many workshops as they wish.
