The EMPOWER project consortium has successfully completed the first Focus group as part of the needs of Project Result 1- Training Package for Sustainability in Social Enterprises.

The Focus group consisted of 5 participants between the ages of 30-35 years old and were recruited based on their interest in the topic of the project and because of their personal interaction and network.

The focus group consisted of 2 parts. During part one, the participants were asked critical questions regarding social entrepreneurship and the role it needs to play in today’s society while during part two the participants were asked about the skills they think are necessary that someone interested in social should possess or otherwise develop.
