Within the project Rural – TIP&A: Transformation through Practical Learning and Entrepreneurship (POSDRU 87164), where Método participates as transnational partner, the second practical work visit has been recently carried out, in order to facilitate an exchange of knowledge aimed at promoting and encouraging entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial culture in rural areas.
As part of this activity, we have hosted a group of international guests consisting of 6 future entrepreneurs in Romania. The group has traveled to Madrid from 16 to 18 June 2014.
On Monday, June 16, the exchange program started with a welcome reception provided by Método´s team. The work day continued with the presentation of Método Estudios Consultores sector experience at its headquarters in Madrid and finished with the first worktable, in which new business opportunities in rural areas have been listed.
The following days have focused on providing examples of good practice of entrepreneurship in rural areas, in order to inform the participants about the experiences of local entrepreneurs who have achieved success in their work activity.
The first Visit was to COCETA (Spanish Confederation of Associated Work Cooperatives), where the visiting group received relevant information about the huge potential of cooperatives in rural areas.
