Be the Good Opportunity

AIM: Achieving the goals of this project will increase the professional development opportunities of our young volunteers and allow them to contribute to the economic development of our regions and the fight against depopulation. It will also equip them with the skills to work effectively to address social inequalities and the gap between the demand and supply in the job market in our communities. We will learn to identify the needs of local socially vulnerable groups, and tailor our business ideas to these needs. This will increase our chances of finding enough employees, and it will help the economic activation of young people from the most vulnerable groups in our communities.

OBJECTIVES:

• build in our young activists strong skills for business development in social entrepreneurship;
• identification of the needs and potential of local socially vulnerable groups for the purposes of successful social entrepreneurship;
