M.I.C.R.O. is an European project addressed to microcredit operators and NGOs working with migrants interested in setting up an entrepreneurial activity. Despite the economic crisis of the last years, the rate of migrant entrepreneurship has continued to grow in Europe. Nonetheless, there are several related criticalities to be faced, such as the difficulty in finding information for setting up a business and scarce entrepreneurial training.

The general aim of M.I.C.R.O. is to create a professional figure capable of supporting migrants throughout the various phases in setting up and managing an entrepreneurial activity. In this regard, the partners involved in the project are working on creating and experimenting an innovative e-learning methodology for operators who will thus have the possibility to acquire transversal competences, both in the economic/financial and intercultural communication sectors.

In addition online materials addressed to migrant entrepreneurs will be created offering an overview and orientation regarding all of the aspects of an entrepreneurial activity.
