Company secures third major European training contract

REGENERUS, formerly South Sefton Development Trust, has received €321,000 from the European Commission’s Erasmus+ programme.

Business specialists from the Merseyside company will work alongside partners in Latvia, Portugal, Germany, Denmark and Italy to create resources for individuals trying to seek practical solutions to social problems.

The Tomorrow’s Land project will run for 26 months and include the creation of online learning resources and a learning framework.

During this time Regenerus will also host a social innovation conference in Liverpool.

Chief executive at Regenerus, Cate Murphy said: “Building on the success of our previous contracts, Tomorrow’s Land will support educators in developing social innovators who will use their abilities for the benefit of their local communities.

“Ultimately it will be all about helping thinkers and practitioners to create a better, more inclusive and more innovative economy and society in these countries.”

The announcement comes as Regenerus reaches the end of its second European contract, the Connect project, which was also funded by the Erasmus+ scheme.

This scheme helps unemployed young people in the UK, Germany, Spain, Poland and Cyprus make international connections with their peers.

Using the app, the young people can improve their personal, social and employability socials by communicating with people from across Europe.

Before Connect, Regenerus received funding from the Leonardo da Vinci programme to adapt its social enterprise training programme, Ignite.
