The overarching objective of the Enter4All project was to address and alleviate challenges associated with origin and social barriers, inequalities, and obstacles hindering access to learning opportunities, as well as provide entrepreneurial guidance and support. The project aimed to significantly contribute to the enhancement of inclusion, equality, and non-discrimination. Additionally, it sought to play a vital role in improving the reception and integration of refugees and migrants into society. By tackling these multifaceted issues, Enter4All aimed to create a more equitable and accessible environment, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment among diverse communities. Enter4All’s Activities aimed at the following outcomes for Migrant Entrepreneurs: Become more aware of the existing business opportunities and more confident on how to exploit them Develop new intercultural, entrepreneurial, and soft skills Establish new networks with key stakeholders, with Native entrepreneurs and professionals, and with each other State and Private Bodies and advisors become more aware of how to support Non-Native entrepreneurs efficiently

Enter4All benefited 185 individuals directly and designed a Digital Roadmap to starting a business in Greece, especially for non-natives’. An innovative and tailor-made curriculum was also produced to guide the development of e-learning material on 6 Educational Units (some in 3 languages) which was then used to deliver 24 online training sessions (webinars – totaling 48 hours in 2 countries). E4A also delivered 24 online networking sessions (in 2 countries) designed to promote awareness, knowledge transfer and effective future collaboration between entrepreneurs and stakeholders. Specialised training material was developed in Portugal and used in Greece to build a community of mentors for non-native entrepreneurs (facilitators). 50 facilitators were trained to provide specialist mentoring services to non-natives. By the end of the project, the facilitators offered mentoring to 66 beneficiaries. E4A’s results were celebrated with 1 green, multilingual, and socially responsible multiplier event. Finally, E4As greatest achievement is the creation of a sustainable community which links migrant communities with Chambers, NGOs, business consultants, credit institutions, Employment Associations and others.
