The Silver Entrepreneurs project is an adult education and entrepreneurship promotion initiative aimed at empowering seniors aged 60+ by equipping them with the skills and confidence to develop their own business projects, thereby remaining socially and economically active.

The international closing event will take place on May 28 at the LCCI, bringing together project partners and participants from Latvia, Finland, and Sweden.
