The Capsule Project
CAPSULE was an Erasmus+ project led by Impact Hub Bucharest, Career Shift, Impact Hub Zagreb, and Impact Hub Budapest, designed to empower young people—particularly women—in Romania, Croatia, and Hungary to take on entrepreneurial and social entrepreneurial roles.
Focused on social inclusion and diversity, the project enhanced skills in education, youth development, and social innovation, while also boosting employability through digital and entrepreneurial growth.
During the 18-month program, participants accessed e-courses, joined practice communities, and developed their ideas through coaching and mentoring. It supported young women in overcoming challenges like self-doubt and fear of failure.
Now, as the project concludes, we’re proud to celebrate its achievements at the final event.
Applications for CAPSULE are now closed.
