The project „Enterpreneurship as a tool of integration” follows the socio-economic integration of unemployed parents that have children with special needs addressing important aspects of their lives: on one side is focus on the improvement of psycho-emotional situation of the parents to participate actively in the socio-economic life of society and their training in the field of social entrepreneurship and on the other side it creates opportunities for cooperation between parents not only local but also at European level. The project will also offer the opportunity for the participants to adapt advanced methods of ICT training in order to facilitate their efforts in entrepreneurial skills.
