there are always regions with poor infrastructure communication (high mountains, remote
areas) or regions affected by strong seasonal labour dependency (coastal and mountainous).
Geographical defects are a barrier to taking up a job or starting up a business.

Geographical difficulties also make it difficult to access various additional courses or
education to increase one's knowledge of entrepreneurship, finance or economics. They
discourage the establishment of businesses for fear of a lack of customers due to poor
infrastructure.

People struggling with such difficulties lack an idea and guidance on how they can turn
disadvantages into opportunities, for example currently, there is a huge demand for products
from certified organic regions.

- Obstacles for learning

• difficult access to various courses,

• lack of possibility to choose a course that is of interest to the student, due to few offers,

• the backlog of basic knowledge as a result of attending the nearest school with a low level
of education,

• the difficulty of acquiring knowledge due to the backlog of education,

• lack of motivation.

- Tips for the educator

• creating opportunities to participate in an online course,

• adapting the duration of the course to the availability of learners,

• individualisation of teaching,

• motivation to act,

• to provide guidance on how they can turn disadvantages into opportunities,

• inspiration from various real-life examples.
