Objectives

This project, conceived before covid19 and then concretely implemented in the summer of 2021, brought together young people from different countries with heterogeneous backgrounds in the social and humanities sectors. Topics related to social, inclusive, economic and educational difficulties were dealt with. Social entrepreneurship was the focus of the activity and we have developed each step following this issue as a central part; we can also confirm that both experiences and attitudes were different in each partner involved. We wanted to activate a shared experience and give the opportunity to a group of young people, unrelated to the Erasmus + program and its opportunities, to experience non-formal and highly formative moments. The main objective was to promote social entrepreneurship among young people and enable them to use it as a tool to tackle local unemployment in their own community. Based on the expected results of the Erasmus + guide, the project supported the following specific objectives pursued by the program: 1. the improvement of key competences and skills of young people, including those with fewer opportunities; 2. the promotion of active citizenship, intercultural dialogue, social inclusion and solidarity, quality in youth work, cooperation between organizations in the youth sector; 3. the enhancement of the international dimension of youth activities and the capacity of youth organizations to support young people by promoting mobility and cooperation between the stakeholders of the program countries.
