During the month of January, the Official Spanish Chamber of Commerce in Belgium and Luxembourg will organize three professional networking forums: StartCraft, Co-innovating the future of crafting.

These professional networking forums are part of the StartCraft project, an initiative managed by the Chamber and funded by the Erasmus + program, with the aim to develop and offer training and practical education in entrepreneurship for artisans.

StartCraft, Co-innovating the future of crafting, is aimed at crafts or future crafts- entrepreneurs.

Participants may choose to attend one of the following forums:

• Monday, January 18^th from 12:30 to 13:30
• Wednesday, January 20^th from 12:30 to 13:30
• Monday, January 25^th from 12:30 to 13:30

During these meetings, participants will be able to discover in detail the set of educational materials for craftworkers that will be developed by the project, including free online training courses and a market training tool.

They will also be able to exchange their impressions about the needs that craftworkers have when starting a business, the challenges that managing a craft business presents, the skills and abilities needed to be a successful crafts entrepreneur, as well as the challenges that they have faced due to the current sanitary crisis.

Based on the conclusions of these forums, the StartCraft programme will develop specific training materials that respond to the expectations of the crafts sector and, at the same time, cover any gaps in training observed in the field of entrepreneurship.

All participants will receive a certificate of participation.

These forums will be held in English or French, depending on the needs of the participants.

You can register here.
