The CIRCO Business Design Track is a three days specialised training programme offered within the CirculUP! Project, driving the vision of a circular economy in Armenia.
The training sparked creativity and new ideas as participants looked for circular solutions to make Armenia more sustainable. With their new knowledge, participants figured out how to turn ideas into real actions, laying a strong foundation for circular businesses to grow.
Bas Hillerström, CIRCO Trainer: “It was a pleasure working for the Impact Hub Network and especially with the people from Impact Hub Yerevan. I really felt at home in Armenia straight away. Not in the least because of the friendly and professional group of ”new” CIRCO Trainers”.
The first CIRCO Track in Armenia, led by them, was a succes and an important step in creating a broader understanding of circular economy and circular design. Circular economy is quite a new concept in Armenia and discussions of what it means for the Armenian context are in their first phase. Bas: “For me it was interesting to witness some of these talks first hands. The drive and professionalism of the people leading these efforts is enormous, which gives me a lot of faith for the future of circular economy in Armenia!”.
