The proposed project, European Entrepreneurship School Programme as an Answer to Social Exclusion (eESPASE, hereafter) is justified in the context of the need to adapt European society to the changes taking place in the model of welfare State as a result of the economic crisis. Because of this crisis, significantly increases the number of people unemployed and thereby the number of people at risk of social exclusion.In this situation, European Governments cannot meet alone the needs of wider collectives and develop the necessary mechanisms for social cohesion. It is necessary that civil society itself who will mobilize and organize effectively under the principles of self-management and entrepreneurial initiative, where individuals and social groups to assume the role of giving way and find solutions to their own problems collaborating with the State.Therefore, the presence of social entrepreneurs is necessary that identify problems and social needs and address them through projects with a high social innovation.This fact justifies the need to support social entrepreneurs through a programme, eESPASE, that gives effective tools to enable their professionalization, training, and provide the necessary support to increase the viability of their projects of social cohesion.eESPASE will have as a precedent a project already consolidated in Spain, the School of Social Entrepreneurs at the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, which is a six year old programme, designed to promote the figure of the social entrepreneur in Spain.The eESPASE project has a more ambitious reach, taking as the recipient any European team of trainers or organizations providing support to social entrepreneurs. This will require a work of adaptation in terms of format, methodology and content.The Consortium involved in eESPASE is made up by five partners from four countries (Spain, Greece, Finland and Poland), with complementary profiles, extensive experience in the field of entrepreneurship and European projects management and extensive network of contacts. These are three educational institutions (Cracow University of Economics, the Foundation of the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid and the Institute of Entrepreneurship and Development) and two private companies (Inypsa and Noema).As result of eESPASE will create a new generalized model of supporting social entrepreneurs at European level which will culminate in the development of an e-learning platform aimed at social entrepreneurs, social supporting entities and experts with materials adapted to the identified socio-economic needs. Thanks to eESPASE it will train in the short term to trainers of the participating countries. For medium to long term it will take a change of social culture that allows a greater employability of people at risk of exclusion in these countries and the extension of the Programme to other European countries.
