The SUSENT – Sustainable Entrepreneurship through Handmade Cosmetics project officially began with a successful kick-off meeting held in Bursa, Turkey. Hosted by the project coordinator, the meeting gathered representatives from all partner organizations for two productive days of planning, collaboration, and strategic development.
The kick-off meeting served as an essential first step in aligning the consortium around the project’s vision: to empower young people and youth workers with practical skills and entrepreneurial knowledge in the field of handmade, eco-conscious cosmetics.
Key highlights of the meeting included:
- Presentation and discussion of the overall project objectives and expected results
- Finalization of the work plan and division of responsibilities among partners
- In-depth review of the first project outputs, including the upcoming Training Toolkit and Learning Activities
- Planning for visibility, dissemination, and engagement strategies
- Strengthening cooperation and building a common understanding of quality standards and communication methods
Participants also had the opportunity to explore local initiatives in sustainable product making and experience the rich cultural and entrepreneurial spirit of Bursa – a city with deep traditions in craftsmanship and innovation.
The atmosphere was one of strong collaboration, shared commitment, and creative exchange, setting a solid foundation for the implementation of the SUSENT project in the months ahead.
With the groundwork laid in Bursa, partners are now moving forward with the development of the project’s educational resources and preparation for upcoming training activities.
Stay tuned for updates as we continue to shape a greener, more sustainable path for young entrepreneurs across Europe.
