INSPIRE - Digital Empowerment for Resilient Communities

The project aims to enhance the entrepreneurial and digital skills of young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to promote social inclusion actions at the local and European levels by using local markets as hubs for encounters and integration. The main objective of the project is to help create resilient communities based on intercultural dialogue, knowledge and recognition of diversity as an added value that strengthens the local and European food markets. Through the exchange of best practices at the European level, the project will develop an innovative methodology aimed at investing in the great added value that young people bring within the local and European ecosystem. To do this, the specific objectives of the project will be:
-Strengthen digital and entrepreneurial skills among young people from disadvantaged backgrounds (WP2, WP3) through the development of innovative educational and training materials using the youth- center approach;
-Enhance social inclusion through direct support in local food markets, facilitating digital skills transfer from youth to local vendors, promoting the use of digital tools to improve product visibility (WP4);
-Promote community resilience and social cohesion through the promotion of volunteering as a means of building a more inclusive European space

We are specifically looking for partners with those profile:
- working in food markets or in local markets in general;
- having experience with young people with fewer opportunities.
