Objectives

Representatives of 5 organisations joined together to develop a project proposal. During the working session we analyzed how thousands of young people are facing unemployment both in Europe and overseas countries. Youth unemployment has a profound impact on individuals, society and the economy. The criticality and vulnerability of the youth situation in the labor market is both a great untapped resource that Europe cannot afford to squander, and is a social crisis that needs to be remedied. Unless current trends are reversed quickly, the levels of today risk youth unemployment can harm job prospects for young people long-term, with serious implications for the future growth and social cohesion. The project was designed by youth belonging to geographical areas which limits young people’s opportunities, so after the discussion with our group, we decided that the best way to address the issue of unemployment is through entrepreneurship. We came up with an idea of a project that focus on a specific kind of entrepreneurship, Tourism business! Participants discovered the opportunities and necessary competencies in order to work in the touristic field or start their own entrepreneurship path in rural or urban tourism, considering the global context and perspectives of this subject, as well as learn to generate ideas for the market positioning of the tourist destination. With our project, we wanted to stimulate positive thinking towards risk-taking and implementation of our own business initiatives.
