CONTEXT Through the Covid-19 pandemic, problems and effects emerge that do not choose a group or social context. Creativity Nest urges to address the problem of social exclusion and youth unemployment as a consequence of the absence of key competences for lifelong learning and creative and entrepreneurial competences. It is essential to intervene preventively and in a phase of transition to the labour market, in order to limit the perpetuation of perverse effects, since the gaps that exist in the young group in the period of transition to the labour market, without intervention, will be continued throughout adult life. Excluded and unemployed, or integrated into precarious jobs and without appreciation of potential, or in situations of professional instability, young people lose motivation to seek opportunities and to invest in solutions for their future. OBJECTIVES - Promote the empowerment of young people, through the development of key, creative and entrepreneurial competences and the exploitation of personal and professional talent and ambition; - Promote the empowerment of youth workers, through the transfer of new knowledge, practices, methodologies and methods of working with and for young people in the spectrum of creative and entrepreneurial education; - Promote the creative and entrepreneurial potential of young people, through the incorporation of innovative, appealing and complementary non-formal methods to the formal educational path in order to contribute to the integrated development of young people; - Promote social inclusion, including underrepresented groups, by creating empowerment opportunities.

RESULTS 1. Tangibles - Results developed and appropriate throughout the project; - Creativity Nest: a guide for creative and entrepreneur youth. 2. Intangibles - Compilation of knowledge, practices and methodologies that promote the resolution of the social problem; - Key competences for lifelong learning; - Creative and entrepreneurial competences. IMPACTS - Empowerment of young people with new and/or improved key competences, creative and entrepreneurial competences, with an impact on the future of young people; - Empowerment of young people with innovative and creative competences and methods that enhance the discovery of solutions to problems faced by young people (and beyond) and the response to emerging social challenges in critical contexts; - Ability of young people to recognize their interests, ambitions and future perspectives, allowing them to make decisions that are adjusted and conscious of their objectives; - Capacity to develop the local environment and the artistic, cultural and social sectors, through the realization of their ideas and projects and adding value in solving common issues (and, consequently, fixing young people in their environment); - Recognition and incorporation of creative, inclusive and participatory approaches, based on the transversality of methodologies and the use of ICT, so that they become appealing to the participation of young people.
OBJECTIVES We promote: - The empowerment of young people through the development of key competencies and creative and entrepreneurial skills and the exploration of personal and professional talent and ambition. - The empowerment of youth workers, through the transfer of new knowledge, practices, methodologies and methods of working with and for young people in the spectrum of creative and entrepreneurial education. - The creative and entrepreneurial potential of young people through the incorporation of non-formal methods that are innovative, appealing and complementary to the formal educational pathway to contribute to the integrated development of young people. - Social inclusion, including under-represented groups, through the creation of empowerment opportunities.
CONTEXT Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, problems and effects emerged that did not choose group or social context. Creativity Nest urged responding to social exclusion and youth unemployment due to the absence of key competencies for lifelong learning and creative and entrepreneurial skills. We felt it was essential to intervene preventively and at a stage of transition to the labour market to limit the perpetuation of perverse effects, since the gap in the youth group in the transition period to the labour market, without intervention, results in a reproduction of the same throughout adulthood. Excluded and unemployed, or integrated into precarious jobs with no valorization of potential, or in a situation of professional instability, young people lose motivation to seek opportunities and to invest in solutions for their future.
