A total of 8 Multiplier events were organised in Kristinestad (Finland), Albenga (Italy), Turin (Italy), Portimao (Portugal), London (UK), Brussels (Belgium) and Berlin (Germany) with more than 250 people attending. During these events representatives of organisations in the field of youth, entrepreneurship, inclusion work as well as schools, the private sector and politicians and policy makers were invited. The results of the Welcomeship project, including the Intellectual Outputs produced, best practice examples, testimonies of young participants and trainers were presented and its free access was promoted to potential future users. Along with an intensive dissemination campaign on a local and international level, these events played a crucial role in the dissemination and promotion of the Welcomeship Model and the project outputs so they can be used by organisations, institutions, and individual users interested in using community-based entrepreneurship as a tool for the inclusion of migrants and refugees and in building more inclusive communities.
