Prof. Dr. Heike Mayer and Micaela Lois travelled to Barranquilla, Colombia, for an exciting workshop with the SNF-SPIRIT research project team “Women Entrepreneurs: An Intersectional Perspective on Entrepreneurial Ecosystems in Colombia, Germany, and Switzerland” (WeEco). Over the course of the workshop, we delved into research design, methodologies, and specified the focus of our three case studies. One of the most memorable moments was an interactive session with local entrepreneurs using LEGO blocks. Through this hands-on approach, participants built and shared their unique perspectives on entrepreneurial ecosystems, visualising their structure, challenges, and opportunities. This creative exercise sparked lively discussions and helped us uncover what truly matters to entrepreneurs. By co-creating their ecosystems, participants can highlight their experiences and shed light on spaces of inclusion and exclusion, offering invaluable insights for our research.
