Abstract
The challenge at the end of any project is how to embed its newly developed approaches over the long term as widely as possible. The Mastering 9 Conversations (M9C) project developed a train the trainer course to enable volunteers and refugee support organizations (RSO) to implement an earlier course that helps refugees to start their own business in their new country of residence. RSOs and their staff typically have no entrepreneurship training, therefore any training approach aimed at them must be easily implemented at low cost, while fostering a process that empowers all participants, including the facilitator. We describe how the combination of a pedagogical and low-cost tech approach of both our courses, run using Google Drive with secure certification, leads to increased inclusion.
