In the present period of severe economic crisis and economic recession, social entrepreneurship is one of the main issues at a European and national public policy level. The European Commission stresses that there are cultural factors which discourage too many people from starting a business and therefore, there is a need to develop a strong entrepreneurial culture among EU citizens in general.

‘Society Profits’ project, in line with the Europe 2020 strategy, is seeking to address in various ways the European Commission aspiration to create ICT- based products that will generate growth, and skill-building and at the same time address global challenges.

Accordingly, ‘Society Profits’ project primarily aims at the education of the next generation of entrepreneurs by influential multipliers such as youth organizations, equipped and trained through the project’s on-line platform and on-line training course. Specifically, the first and the second output of the project consists of an on-line training course, focusing on the ways in which social entrepreneurs draw upon business techniques and private sector approaches in order to resolve social, cultural and environmental problems such as to end poverty, to improve the standard of living, to support vulnerable population etc.

During the 1st transnational meeting that took place in Nicosia of Cyprus, on the 6-9 of February, project’s partners from Cyprus, Greece and Portugal analyzed the main output of the project that will be the creation of an on-line platform (e-platform) which will contain an on-line training course on social entrepreneurship. Also, they discussed for the concrete outline of the final training course will thoroughly be developed after the first transnational meeting.
