The main objective of the Youth Entrepreneurship and Empowerment Project (YEEP) was to address the social exclusion and labor force participation challenges faced by minority youth in Europe, particularly those aged 18-29. By improving their digital skills and entrepreneurship competencies, the project aimed to increase their employability and reduce barriers to workforce entry. Additionally, the project sought to boost self-confidence among young people, promote the establishment of new enterprises, and foster an entrepreneurship culture within minority communities. Through non-formal education activities, YEEP intended to enhance the knowledge and skills of participants, contributing to their long-term integration into the labor market and society.
Youth Entrepreneurship and Empowerment Project (YEEP) was a project implemented for young people between the ages of 18-29 living in Europe and belonging to a minority group. It is a project that aims to increase the participation of minority youth in employment by improving their digital competencies and entrepreneurship skills in today's world where information and communication technologies are developing. Social exclusion and integration problems faced by minority groups living in Europe are among the difficulties young people encounter in their social lives. These problems, which young people living in the minority group are exposed to, bring along a big problem of not being included in the labor force. With YEEP, it is expected to find a solution to the problem of not being included in the labor force and not being able to take part in employment, which is caused by the social exclusion and integration problems of young people who migrated to Europe due to various reasons and who are in the minority group in Europe.
