22 participants representing YMCB mentors, trainers and representatives of sibling projects. They all engaged in a fruitful discussion by exchanging their experiences and approaches.
The guide and developed materials were received positively by the attendees, recognizing added value of the methodology used. Specific topics were raised such as financing for start-ups and for innovative ideas associated with high risk. Although the three typical entrepreneurial profiles (selected personas) represent the universe of migrant entrepreneurs, contextualization of training programmes has been recognized by the attendees and panelists to tailor made the financial education offering to real needs and situations of the migrant or refugee entrepreneurs in each country or region.
Participants were invited to try out the guide and training modules, and subsequently share their views and comments with the authors with a view to further improve and enrich it.
