Danielle Gluns (WWU) is currently seconded to the Impact Hub Siracusa, Sicily, where she is discussing the activities and structures of social enterprises in Italy. Aiming to mitigate the negative effects of economic crises and stagnation on youth unemployment, the foundation of social enterprises by young people is explicitly supported there. One of several projects, “Bassi Communicati” in Ragusa, provides counselling for young founders to develop their ideas and improve the sustainability of their enterprises. This picture shows Danielle participating in an exchange between the future founders and established entrepreneurs, asking critical questions and providing advice.
