💡 Testing Today, Innovating Tomorrow!

One of the highlights of the 3rd INNO-ANTIDOTE Transnational Project Meeting in Valencia was the pilot testing of our Mini-Incubator programme! 🇪🇸

On 6 October 2026, at ADEIT Valencia, young participants had the opportunity to explore the proposed training structure, activities and learning approach, sharing valuable feedback before the national Mini-Incubators are launched.

🌱 Their perspectives helped us identify what works and what can be improved: clearer connections between learning stages, more practical examples and greater emphasis on turning environmental challenges into entrepreneurial solutions.

🤝 All five young people who completed the evaluation considered the programme suitable for their age group, reinforcing the value of involving young voices in shaping meaningful learning experiences.

A special thank you to SUSIC, our host partner, and to the young participants for their contributions!

🌍 Real feedback. Better learning. Stronger green ideas.
