ARCHITECTS OF OWN DESTINY

The whole Europe since several years has been living an acute social and economic crisis. The widespread issue of unemployment invests in particular a generation of bright and creative young, full of enthusiasm, with high-level education but without any outcome in the labour market. For these reasons, Futuro Digitale, non-profit organization registered as work agency and fully involved in the field of youth entrepreneurship and vocational training, has decided to present "Architects of Own Destiny".

The project consists of a Training Course of 6 days (+ 2 travel) aimed to promote and strengthen the self-entrepreneurship in the social field, in order to let participants acquire the necessary tools and knowledge to develop and promote a business idea based on the analysis of the social environment in which they live and enhancing the value of their experiences, passions and skills.

The activity program has been structured in four phases:
At first, the participants will examine their passions, experience and expertise as well as the main characteristics of the social context in which they live. Then they will analyse the social sector and identify a social problem to be solved. Basing on their creativity, they will develop their own idea of social business to address the problem identified previously with a realistic solution. Finally, once defined their business idea, they will have to present, promote and demonstrate the feasibility of their social enterprise.
