Some experience
Venture Out were involved in the delivery of the recent EU funded 'From Outdoors to Labour Market' - FOLM project. You can find out some information about this exciting project at https://www.folmweb.com/en/.
This project was created to support young adults into education, training and employment through a blend of Outdoor learning and 1:1 coaching. This project was funded through the Norway Grants programme.
EU Funding Goals
In the short term, Venture Out want to focus on building a network, forming close relationships with like minded organisations, learning, and participating as a partner in projects.
