The project “Social Entrepreneurship - Road to Change” aimed at exploring the concept of Social Entrepreneurship (SE), as an innovative way to solve social problems in youth work using entrepreneurial skills. SE is an alternative method of civic engagement and participation, as it offers us a chance to enter both - the public sphere and the labour market. At the same time, the project attempted through SE to give an appropriate answer to the following two important issues in the youth field: • YOUTH UNEMPLOYMENT and REFUGEE CRISIS: At a time of high levels of youth unemployment and refugee crisis in Europe, one of the biggest problems for young people and especially for young migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers turns out to be unemployment. There is a high percentage of unemployment of young people in EU countries and even more outside of it, with some countries reporting rates in excess of 50%. The Office for Economic Cooperation and Development defines youth unemployment as “the number of unemployed 15-24 year-olds expressed as a percentage of the youth labour force". A picture of the problem is indicated by the following facts seen here: https://goo.gl/5guSjn. In the long-term unemployment of migrants, refugees, and asylum seekers will become an even bigger problem for the European society. • SUSTAINABILITY OF YOUTH ORGANIZATIONS: Youth NGOs around Europe and especially in non-EU countries are facing the problem of financial sustainability. This major part of the civil society sector has been shaped by and depends on donor assistance. This factor, on the one hand, gives an opportunity to CSOs to survive and be efficient, but on the other hand, causes dependence on priorities and grants of donors. According to the changes in priorities of donors, organizations are potentially obliged to change their working directions and priorities. This can have a negative impact on their organizational and professional development, can feed opportunistic attitudes, and potentially risks not fully addressing local community needs. SE can be a response to these challenges, as it draws upon business techniques to raise additional sources of funding to find committed, possibly longer-term community-based solutions to local problems. This concept may be applied to a variety of organizations of different sizes, aims, and beliefs, including youth organizations, which we mostly focused on in this project. The goal of the project was to give participants general knowledge and tools of SE and guide them to become the main actors of sustainable change through starting new social enterprises within their organizations/communities. The objectives of the project were to: • Encourage participants to link social work and entrepreneurship as a means of working towards the public good; • Inform and raise awareness among participants about the concept, characteristics, benefits, and values of SE; • Empower the participants, stimulate their creativity and innovative thinking; • Provide participants with the tools and competences to build an effective business model of own social enterprise; • Promote cooperation between EU and neighbouring countries, and build new network around the concept of SE and innovative youth work. In order to reach the goals and objectives of the project: • The project team made a good selection of participants, in order to bring the active and motivated members/youth workers from promoter organizations and prepare them accordingly before the TC; • Before the TC the teams from each partner organization were asked to identify one social/environmental challenge in their community they wanted to tackle, and communicate it with the project team; • During the TC the trainers guided the participants to build the business models for the new social enterprises, in order to tackle the identified social/environmental challenges in their communities; • After the TC the teams from each partner organization are expected to follow the business models developed during the TC, and establish the new social enterprises within their communities, by the help of the trainers, project team and partner organizations.
