Facilitate access to digital markets through the creation of the E-CRAFTS Marketplace platform and support systems for online sales, marketing, and digital business management.
Ensure the project’s long-term sustainability through a clear dissemination plan, multiplier events, and the development of a model that can be replicated in other contexts.
Develop accessible training programs in digitalization and entrepreneurship, including a MOOC covering e-commerce, digital marketing, business management, and finance, with materials adapted to different levels of digital literacy.
Reduce structural barriers to inclusion by establishing mentoring networks, collaborating with NGOs and community centers for access to technology and training, and implementing inclusive teaching methods.
