ASI – Art of Social Innovators is a project funded through the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union. The project primarily focuses on deploying Social Innovation and Circular Economy as a means for inclusion, active citizenship and solidarity, employability and entrepreneurship among youth with fewer opportunities in disadvantaged rural communities in Europe and Asia. ASI is a project in which six partner organisations from five countries (South Korea, Thailand, Nepal, Italy and Romania) work together to join young people, youth workers, entrepreneurs and good wizards (social innovators) to learn from each other, to create learning tools and to use these tools in order to promote Social Innovation and Circular Economy as a mean for inclusion, active citizenship and solidarity, employability and entrepreneurship among youth with fewer opportunities in disadvantaged rural communities in Europe and Asia.
Part of the project Art of Social Innovators, the youth exchange in Nepal provided a new perspective upon the fields of social entrepreneurship and circular economy for all the participants. Nevertheless, the intercultural impact of the exchange was amplified by the variety of cultural backgrounds of the young participants.
Age group of participants: 18-30
Countries: Nepal, South Korea, Thailand, Italy and Romania.
