Smart Step Final Meeting in Zaragoza🌍

🌍 We’re celebrating the SMART STEP Final Meeting in Zaragoza! 🚀

The international partners of Smart Step are already gathered in Zaragoza for the project’s final meeting hosted by Mundus, marking the closing chapter of this EU-funded Capacity Building in VET initiative.

Tomorrow, 4 December, we are hosting the final event bringing together companies, clusters, entrepreneurs, VET centres, and other education institutions under the theme: ✨ “Connecting Africa and Europe for innovation and entrepreneurship.”

Smart Step has worked to strengthen VET programmes in Ghana and Cameroon, equipping young people with the skills and tools to develop sustainable and inclusive business ideas. With a consortium of nine organisations from six countries (Spain, Belgium, Italy, Ghana, Nigeria, and Cameroon), the project has fostered new training methodologies, teacher development, and resources to promote entrepreneurship.

🎉 We’re excited to share achievements, learnings, and the vibrant collaboration between Africa and Europe that has made this project possible.
