What was the trigger?<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The transition actions are namely carried out within the APRES association because they contribute to feed the projects and resources related to its missions of support to the creation of sustainable entrepreneurial projects.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#009444″ thickness=”1px”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Running the project<\/strong><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The projects are undertaken internally by the employee referents, as they participate in the creation of tools to animate the network.<\/p>\n

Concerning the use of a local currency, the process was facilitated by an employee of APR\u00c8S who was also a volunteer of the association that founded the currency. He was assigned to raise awareness and support the work teams in integrating the currency into their purchasing and human resources management practices.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern”][vc_column width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”3\/4″][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_separator type=”normal” color=”#009444″ thickness=”1px”][vc_empty_space height=”30px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
