International focus on social entrepreneurship!

On May 28, 2025, representatives of BASE – Varna took part in an international round table in Belgrade, Republic of Serbia, held within the framework of the “Social Barometer” project, implemented under the EU-funded Erasmus+ Programme. The event was dedicated to the development of social entrepreneurship in Bulgaria, Serbia, and North Macedonia.

The highlight of the meeting was the presentation of the Social Barometer – an innovative tool that not only measures the state of the sector but also paves the way towards sustainable solutions by bringing together the public, private, and civil society sectors.

Particular interest was sparked by the presentations of social enterprises from Serbia, as well as the shared practical experience of the Bulgarian representatives, who provided valuable feedback on the applicability of the tool in real-world contexts. This laid the foundation for international dialogue and the exchange of good practices.
The event concluded with a final partner meeting, marked by strong commitment and a shared vision for the future. Although the project will formally conclude in June 2025, the tools and practices developed will continue to contribute to building a more sustainable and inclusive society.
