The Capsule Project
CAPSULE was an Erasmus+ initiative led by Impact Hub Bucharest, Career Shift, Impact Hub Zagreb, and Impact Hub Budapest, aimed at empowering young people—especially women—across Romania, Croatia, and Hungary to become change-makers in entrepreneurship and social entrepreneurship.
With a strong focus on social inclusion and diversity, the project fostered skills in areas such as education, youth, and social innovation, while improving employability through digital, creative, and entrepreneurial development.
Over the course of 18 months, participants engaged in e-courses, joined communities of practice, and refined their project ideas through coaching and mentoring. The program aimed to unlock the potential of young women, helping them overcome barriers like self-doubt and fear of failure.
With the project now complete, we are excited to celebrate its impact at the upcoming final event. Read more below.
The Application for this project is closed.
Who is this for
The program targets young women aged 18-28 who are interested in developing a business and are at the beginning of their professional career. Those who are already working on a business idea or have started an entrepreneurial initiative are also encouraged to apply.
The program is looking for:
- young mothers who want to develop a business on their own.
- young women from disadvantaged categories such as migrants, refugees or displaced people located in the program’s partner countries.
- any young woman in the European Union who wants to become an entrepreneur and does not know where to start.
The program, runs for 18 months, we work with 105 participants from the 3 partner countries. In Hungary we are working with 35 applicants.
