"Social Entrepreneurs in Action -SEA" was a project of the Social Enterprise Madiba in cooperation with partners that brought together youth workers and trainers from European youth organisations with a focus on the importance of social entrepreneurship as a vehicle to strengthen partnerships, develop new quality projects and work on reducing youth unemployment. While the topic of social entrepreneurship was already of strong interest at the time of the application, two years later and in the midst of the pandemic, it was recognized by all partners that it was important to postpone the activities until the in-person training could be realized as planned. The project therefore developed as planned, SEA raised awareness of social entrepreneurship as a crucial tool for decreasing the level of youth unemployment in partner countries and worked on developing youth workers' skills in entrepreneurship and methods to encourage and empower young people in their communities to take action to become agents of positive change. The effect of the pandemic amplified the participants' interest and motivation to reflect on the concepts of crisis as an opportunity and resilience by reflecting on both personal and professional level. The theme of social entrepreneurship as a process of pursuing innovative solutions to social problems was explored. With the help of Entrecomp, the EU framework for the key competence of entrepreneurship, the 25 participants, supported by trainers Olga Kyriakidou and Davide Fumi, had the opportunity to reflect on learning from a personal perspective and as professionals working with and for young people. They reflected on entrepreneurship as a transversal competence and shared good practices and tools to work on young people's entrepreneurial skills, knowledge and attitudes to promote the widespread development of an entrepreneurial mindset and culture for the benefit of individuals and the community. Participants looked at the role of the social entrepreneur as a person willing to take risks and commitment to solve community problems. They then reflected on the key role that social enterprises can play in addressing social and environmental challenges by promoting inclusive growth, even more so in the post-pandemic recovery scenario. The project, therefore, supported the participants in strengthening their managerial skills, stimulating creativity and promoting networking opportunities as well as giving them a better understanding of the value creation dimension of social enterprises in relation to the values of youth work. In summary, 'Social Entrepreneurs in Action -SEA' created awareness about the social economy, clarified and promoted the concept of social entrepreneurship, and increased participants' understanding of how it can foster social inclusion through social innovation and non-formal education as a way to encourage and enable young people to develop their entrepreneurial spirit as a life skill. It did this by achieving the following objectives: - Becoming familiar with the concept of social entrepreneurship - Develop essential entrepreneurial skills and competences of youth workers, youth trainers and youth leaders, such as cooperation, risk-taking, sense of initiative, leadership, communication, teamwork, creative thinking and innovation for idea generation and problem-solving - Exchange experience and expertise in the areas of social entrepreneurship. - Equip participants with a range of creative entrepreneurship tools and methods to develop activities and projects for organisations and young people, including those with fewer opportunities. - To explore practical ways of using social entrepreneurship to reach young people with fewer opportunities, promoting among them the core values of our society and improving digital literacy, critical thinking and sense of initiative. - Providing information on Erasmus+ and other opportunities to foster social inclusion and innovation. Furthermore, SEA served as a platform to develop a network of professionals working on creativity and social innovation.
