Project no° 101147826
PRO-MOTE (Project Number 101147826) is a European cooperation project co-funded by the EU’s CERV programme – Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values. The project aims to strengthen solidarity, social cohesion, and democratic participation in Europe by promoting fair access to employment and entrepreneurial engagement for people with international backgrounds, individuals with refugee experience, and groups facing structural barriers to participation.
At the heart of PRO-MOTE lies the active involvement in democratic processes. The project advocates for equal opportunities, inclusion, and the structural empowerment of people to participate – both in the labour market and in public and civil society spheres.
Through participatory formats, local networking, and transnational exchange, PRO-MOTE creates spaces for empowerment, visibility, and self-determined social transformation. The project thus contributes to an inclusive Europe that embraces diversity as a democratic strength.

The Solidarity Workshop Training Manual was developed within the EU-funded PRO-MOTE project and brings together shared experiences, methodologies, and lessons learned from five partner countries: Austria, Croatia, Italy, Poland, and Spain.
The manual offers a practical, inclusive, and values-based framework for designing and facilitating solidarity-focused workshops that support migrant and refugee communities in exploring entrepreneurship, employment pathways, and social participation. It combines participatory methods, real-life country case studies, thematic learning modules, and concrete facilitation tools to help practitioners create empowering learning environments rooted in inclusion, dignity, and mutual support.
Designed for trainers, facilitators, educators, mentors, NGOs, and community organisations, the manual emphasises co-creation, lived experience, anti-discriminatory practice, and sustainability. It also introduces hands-on tools such as the Creative Project Canvas and the Business Model Canvas to support participants in turning ideas into action.
More than a training resource, the manual reflects a shared European commitment to solidarity, diversity, and collaboration—demonstrating how inclusive education and entrepreneurship can strengthen communities and foster long-term social impact.
