EU`s 2020 strategy puts a significant role upon young people creating jobs, growth and sustainability within Europe. The youth of Europe make up one fifth of the total population in Europe and thus its future prosperity is dependent upon them. Although It can be seen that young people are leaving schools too early and are at greater risk of being unemployed and marginalisation. This situation is resulting in high economic and social costs for member states of the EU. In 2017, the rate of young people aged 16-29 years at risk of poverty or social exclusion in the EU was 28 %, or 21.8 million young people.
In order to address this problem, the partners have identified the following organisational needs:
- a strengthened capacity to build personal leadership in young people and promote their social involvement;
- strengthened capacity to respond to changes in society by promoting a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship among young people.
Therefor the aim of this project is to strengthen the capacity of youth organisations to foster young people’s responsibility for their social environment through leadership, and at the same time tackle social issues through a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship amongst Europe’s youth.
In order to achieve this aim, starting from the organizational needs, the partners have formulated the following objectives:
1. To strengthen capacity of the partner organizations to promote social entrepreneurship among young people
2. To enhance capacity of partner organizations to develop in young people a sense of leadership and peer responsibility;
3. To foster the cooperation between youth organizations and social enterprises in order to promote social entrepreneurship among young people
4. To strengthen the network between youth organizations in Europe for the benefit of fostering social cohesion amongst youth.
