If you want to start a business in your new home but are not sure what the rules are or who can help you then the the 9 Conversations programme may be able to help. Work with a small group of people with a similar goal and with a facilitator who knows the local area to develop your business idea.
By the end of the course you will:
- Be able to complete an EU skills profile. That will be useful in presenting yourself to your new professional network.
- Be able to decide on a business idea to explore in the rest of the course.The idea will link the personal profile (in the EU skills profile) and the new local business environment of the participant.
- Be able to explain what a Business Model Canvas (BMC) is, for example to a fellow refugee.
- Produce a BMC for a specific business idea rooted in the local community and personal context that includes all 9 elements of the BMC.
- Able to give constructive feedback on your study colleagues’ completed BMCs and to reflect on your own.
