Objectives

The youth exchange aimed to make young people more aware of eco-entrepreneurship, to motivate them to think about environmental problems in local societies and to develop their own ideas for solving them. The goals of the youth exchange were: - to promote (eco)entrepreneurship as a way to fight unemployment; - to create a safe environment for expressing ideas and strengthening creativity; - to develop new ideas for solving current environmental problems and encouraging active access of young people in their communities; - to develop entrepreneurial skills among the participants (sense of initiative, problem solving and problem identification, teamwork, communication skills, presentation and pitching skills); - to raise awareness of environmental issues; - to give the participants the opportunity to present their ideas/pilot projects; - to exchange experiences and create networks between youth organizations at the European level; - to improve foreign language and intercultural competences; - to promote Erasmus+, ESS and Erasmus programs for young entrepreneurs. The partner organizations in this project benefited from the results because the youth after the project in their local communities became more aware of eco-entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship opportunities in general. Through dialogue, they promoted their experiences and in that indirect way they promoted entrepreneurship among young people, which is one of the goals of the partner organizations.
