Objectives

The main objective of the project was to raise awareness of the potential behind social entrepreneurship. It also aimed to create a space where individuals from different countries can come together and discuss that topic creating their own project ideas about social entrepreneurship initiatives. Social entrepreneurship is an approach in which a person develops an innovative solution, offering a way to tackle societal issues. This approach can offer tools and opportunities for young people with aspirations, a sense of initiative, and a willingness to give back to their communities. Despite the opportunities that arise from social entrepreneurship, many educational institutions in Europe do not realize the potential behind these principles. Thus, young adults often remain passive regarding societal issues without fully understanding how to effectively tackle them. This was the main motivation behind the realization and implementation of this project, to make them realize that there is great potential behind this topic and that they can have a real impact in their local communities by start implementing their own actions.
