Objectives

Covid19 crisis pointed the lights on sustainable development challenges in European countries. The choices our consortium makes now in its path to recovery will shape the trajectory of sustainable development for years to come, and the usage of digital technologies will become crucial in this green transition. Youth NGOs have the ability and responsibility to play a meaningful role in raising awareness and cultivate an elemental shift in the mindset and attitude of the Z and Alpha Generation. Education plays a crucial role in fostering the eco-entrepreneurial consciousness of future green innovators, entrepreneurs, and employees in the circular economy. The main aim of the project Green Entrepreneurs Heroes was to guide youth workers to develop appropriate tools, skills, know-how, and attitudes to provide green entrepreneurship education services to young people interested to become “greenpreneurs”, through an intensive 8 days training course and 8 topic related webinars and workshops. Thanks to the results of our project, youth workers can now stimulate among youth sustainable values, a green business mindset, and pro-environmental behaviour, while answering the question “how can my startup help solve environmental and social problems?”. Thanks to the project we wanted to expand our international network of organizations active in Europe and behind, and guide them to develop appropriate tools, skills, know-how, and attitudes (SKAs) to provide green entrepreneurship education services to young people interested to become “greenpreneurs”
