Objectives

The idea was to help young people in the transition from unemployment to self-employment as social entrepreneurs. "Get-up-and-go Generation" helped with the personal development of participants as a first significant output, but it also contributed to societal development and transnational cooperation on a long-term basis. Youth initiatives were considered as drivers of positive changes in societies, and the project aimed to stimulate the competencies of youth to be fulfilled. Partner organizations worked in this field, and they were motivated to meet and reinforce the mission statements they had in their statutes. Considering the common goal objectives were as followings: - To raise the awareness and the sense of social entrepreneurship among young people; - To strengthen young people's sense of initiative in the social field in order to support their communities; - To equip participants with necessary skills, knowledge and attitudes needed for putting their initiatives into practice; - To raise participants' level of confidence and motivate them to kick-start social enterprises; - To let participants overcome fear of failure and improve their positive attitude towards the labor market; - To foster transnational exchange of ideas and transmission of competencies and to see the added value of diversity; - To promote tolerance, sense of equality and solidarity; to respect intercultural, non-discriminative dialogue and foster social integration.
