The products were always there; people just could not see them. Now orders come in from Antalya, and three more women have joined the cooperative.
Frequently Asked
Is there a fee?
No. Workshops, the photo shoot and the mentoring are all covered by the GAP Administration.
We are not a cooperative — can we still apply?
Yes. Producer groups forming a cooperative and individual women entrepreneurs are welcome.
How many people can attend?
Up to two per cooperative. One steady attendee is enough, but two makes handover easier.
We already have a shop. What changes?
Your existing shop becomes the starting point; we work on copy, imagery and marketplace links.
We are not comfortable with computers.
The programme starts on the phone. The first two workshops are about listing a product from a phone.
Until the next cohort.
The next call for applications will be announced on this page.
