Entrepreneurship for Green Rural Destinations

Also, we aim to provide educators with new teaching opportunities, enhanced teaching resources, professional development opportunities, collaboration, and networking opportunities. The activities have been designed in a manner to reach as many relevant persons as possible from educators to promising entrepreneurs in rural areas. Activities range from more green sustainable initiatives like webinars, virtual LTTs and also include opportunities for person-to-person meetings allowing for exchange of knowledge, skills, competences and cultural experiences.

Experiential Entrepreneurship Labs (EELS)
Rogaland Polytechnic College has been granted funds for an Erasmus+ KA220 project with the title of “Experiential Entrepreneurship Labs” (EELS). The project, which will have a duration of 2 years, will be coordinated by Rogaland Polytechnic College. Our partners in this project are:

Our target groups are:
- Young people aged between 16 - 25
- Youth educators
