Harmony magnifies small things, its lack spoils big things.
– Sallust–
The first step was taken for Knitting For Hope, one of the social enterprises built on the basis of the concepts of “harmony and solidarity”, one of the mottos of the “Social Inclusion of Refugee Youth through Social Entrepreneurship” project.
In line with the knowledge and experience they gained from the “Basic Mentoring” trainings attended by social entrepreneur candidates, local and immigrant participants came together and established the social enterprise they called Knitting for Hope. They set out with the promise that women are knitting their common future with hope. In this journey, they underlined that social entrepreneurship provides social integration and inclusion. In the social enterprise established, they aim to provide disadvantaged local and migrant women with amigurumi toy knitting training, and they plan to sell the toys knitted by women on national and international platforms in line with the training given later. They aim to have a say in women’s employment and to create a strong bond between local and immigrant women.

When you leave the job to the young people, such good things happen. I congratulate you. It’s great that you put forward such an example of social entrepreneurship in these difficult days after the training you received in a short time! Hoping to see nice examples.
