New Opportunities for Women through Sustainable
Environmental Entrepreneurship

About the project

Learning for environmental sustainability serves as a key EU reference point for how education and training can contribute to building the skills and competences needed for the green transition. Being part of sustainable entrepreneurship deals with entrepreneurs’ roles in sustainable development by placing environmental solutions at the core of business activities towards the green transition.

NOW-SEE’s main motivation is to bring the European Green Deal to life by developing an aesthetic for the green transformation in entrepreneurship and empowering and training women on sustainable environmental entrepreneurship. NOW-SEE will therefore promote women entrepreneurs as role models, will enable women to develop leadership and sustainable, environmental and social entrepreneurial competencies in order to ensure women’s success in their chosen careers.
