From Rural Galicia to Europe: Sende's Pioneering Role in Female Entrepreneurship and the Vision of EUFEGE project
We have just returned from the first in a series of job shadowing activities at Sende, where we had the opportunity to observe and learn from the daily operations of an innovative organization in a rural and remote context like Senderiz.
Maria, co-founder of Sende, was our inspiring muse. Her determination and passion have contributed significantly to the growth and success of the organization on an international level. Maria shared with us her experiences, her successes, as well as the challenges she has faced during her entrepreneurial journey.
Her approach to entrepreneurship goes far beyond the creation of a successful company. Maria infuses her daily activities with a strong sense of social responsibility, focused on creating a positive impact in her small community of 20 inhabitants and in the most remote areas of Galicia.
These experiences at Sende have provided and will provide us with a broader perspective on the importance of female empowerment in the entrepreneurial sector, an aspect that is at the heart of the EUFEGE project.
EUFEGE is a project co-funded by the Erasmus Plus program, aimed at stimulating and promoting female empowerment in the entrepreneurial sector. The project will allow us to improve our skills in the field of adult education to design and propose training paths in our area in the future.
Together with Sende, we will enhance our skills in organizing training courses and workshops on entrepreneurship and financial education dedicated to women, and they will help us build a European network of collaborations in the field of adult education.
Do you know of any other initiatives or organizations that echo the spirit and impact of Sende's approach to female entrepreneurship in rural or remote contexts?
