Training Cycle 2025

The curriculum will also include the organization of the Violet Christmas expo fair, where participants will showcase and sell their products, applying newly acquired skills, increasing visibility, and connecting with new customers during the holiday season.

The Violet Christmas Expo Fair will be a two-day public event in Oaxaca City where participants will showcase and sell their products. Each entrepreneur will have a booth with signage and basic setup support. The fair will be promoted through social media, local networks, and program partners, and will feature raffles, product demos, and live music to create a festive atmosphere. In addition to helping participants apply their business skills, gain visibility, and connect with new customers, the event will also raise awareness about women-led businesses, handmade products, and the value of supporting local female entrepreneurs.

Goal:  

Increased sales and customer contacts for participants, heightened visibility for women-led businesses and handmade products, strengthened confidence in public selling, and expanded community awareness and support for local female entrepreneurs.

We will also be organising a Day of the Day of the Dead Fair where participants will showcase and sell their products, applying newly acquired skills to increase visibility and connect with new customers. By aligning this event with the Day of the Dead festivities, the fair leverages the presence of tourists in Oaxaca City, expanding market access and fostering cultural exchange.
