We combined thematic workshops, mentorship, and public sharing within a structured SEED–GROW–HARVEST process. Participants began with intensive self-development and skills-building, moved into focused project refinement, and concluded by sharing their results with the wider community.

Target group:

• Age range: Young entrepreneurs from across Slovenia (aged 18-30).

• Backgrounds: A mix of early-stage entrepreneurs, creatives, community leaders, and individuals exploring entrepreneurship without a concrete business idea at the start.

• Selection: 30 applied for 12 places, 28 attended interviews, and 14 were selected for the first generation.

Core team: Four young women leading the program, supported by three experienced instructors.

Participant voices:

• "I like that it focuses on developing the person — the entrepreneur — and not just the idea. I have different ideas, not all feasible, so this was a great chance to learn how to shape and execute one."

• "Our bodies can tell us more than we imagine, if we allow ourselves to feel and understand them."

• "Excellent! Thank you for opening this kind of topic, because in society it quickly ‘runs out’."
