As part of the "GameYes: Gaming at the service of acquiring entrepreneurial skills", five workshops were held between 5th March and 2nd April, five workshops aimed at entrepreneurs and potential entrepreneurs.
The small courses, facilitated by CICANT project team (Collaborator José Paulo Oliveira, Phd Student Claudilene Perim and Integrated Researchers Paulo Lopes and Nuno Cintra Torres), covered topics that are essential for developing skills related to entrepreneurship, such as Start-up Basics, Strategic Planning, Marketing and Communication, Negotiation and Financial Literacy.
To fulfill this stage of the project, CICANT relied on the essential partnership of DNA Cascais, which took care of all the implementation logistics, from the enrolment process to publicity, providing the space and operational support for the activities. This joint effort gave participants a valuable opportunity to interact, explore concepts, challenges and share experiences related to entrepreneurship in a collaborative and dynamic environment, encouraging the practical application of the knowledge acquired.
The "GameYes" project is coordinated by RESET - Social Empowerment and Transformation, based in Cyprus, with the co-operation of institutions such as the Entrepreneurship Development Institute (Greece), the Lusófona University (Portugal), "Associación Con Valores" (Spain), PRISM Impresa Sociale (Italy) and PWC - Cyprus.
