Rural Women’s Empowerment through Green Social Entrepreneurship (WE-GREEN) proposes to foster green social entrepreneurship among women in rural communities through education in the form of practical local programs, which is the project's main objective. The project aims at bridging the “gap” in the educational system between the need for new green skills and entrepreneurial skills and the lack of adequate educational content for the development of such skills, through an innovative training course for teachers in delivering green social entrepreneurship education, utilizing blended learning methodology.
