In Lublin, the ‘Lublin Skills Up!’ project began offering free workshops on topics such as mental well-being, entrepreneurship, self-presentation, and social media sales. In Mysłowice, an information meeting was scheduled for October 6 to assist residents and entrepreneurs in securing European Union funds for training and professional courses.
