The project aims to have a positive impact on the female population in the municipalities of southern Tolima (Herrera, Planadas and Chaparral), which are already organised in collaborative work associations. It consisted of providing the women with training in sustainable social entrepreneurship, as well as leadership and women’s empowerment issues; it also consisted of accompanying the associations in the support of branding work with a budget earmarked to boost their various ventures. The aim is to contribute to the growth of the territory through collective social innovation processes in these communities.

The training programme consisted of 7 modules (Module I. Women and Society, Module II. Motivation and Female Leadership, Module III. Labour Welfare and Collective Innovation, Module IV. Business Fundamentals, Module V. Development of a Sustainable Business Plan, Module VI. Project Management and Module VII. Marketing Tools. In addition to practical content (offline, tutored group work, diachronic field work).
