The central idea of the project is based on the use of methods of non-formal education for young people on Green ICT. The choice of focusing on the entrepreneurship of youth was selected as it was found that among young people there is a particular fear in taking initiatives to create their own business. The focus on green entrepreneurship was selected as the European Union, recognizing the importance of lifestyle of modern societies, its impact on the environment and the waste of limited natural resources of land, introduced and promoted the integration of environmental concerns into all its policies. Green entrepreneurship is the business activity that integrates environmental protection in everyday perception and function. In other words, it is the adaptation of production processes to environmentally friendly actions and practices. These companies seek to integrate any innovation that will give them any competitive advantage. The objectives of the project are clear: 1. Provide education (non - formal) to young people on entrepreneurship by giving them the right skills for their professional future, 2. To give young people the necessary information on entrepreneurship and inform them properly about what it means to attempt, for the formal obligations of an entrepreneur and other technical issues, 3.
