25 SME’s,

Creating a sketch/video about
the situation in a hair and beauty salon

educational products like workshops on sustainability and innovation,
entrepreneurial skills, teaching materials for schools and post vocational
education about sustainability in the 'green' salon, a study of management
systems of sustainability in the sector, a diagnostic scan and roadmap for
businesses and schools, a physical sustainability game and an
Internet awareness game about sustainability and entrepreneurial skills.
