Objectives

By this project we aimed to combine the promotion of entrepreneurship and raising awareness on environmental issues, encourage young people to be engaged in entrepreneurship and develop new ideas, approaches for their business models. In this exchange, new business, project ideas were discussed and presented. We included sustainability into the topic so that future social entrepreneurs take it into account and make their business eco-friendly. The main goal was to educate young people about environmental issues and the impact industries can have on them. We think that they should be encouraged to think about sustainable and ecological alternatives to realize their ideas. At the same time, small businesses can benefit the local community and counteract unemployment, as well as encourage more people to become actively involved. Eventually, participants become role models of environmentally responsible behavior within a society. The main objectives of the project are as follows: To increase environmental awareness among young people To promote youth participation To encourage young people to put their ideas into practice using a sustainable, ecological approach as well as increasing capacity of youth organisations and youth groups in addressing community development issues mainly through ecology, youth entrepreneurship, active citizenship and non-formal education To promote the concept of "active citizenship" by reminding young people of values such as solidarity and dialogue, values that they will demonstrate both in activities within the group and in interactions with members of the local community To ensure that young people are more intertwined with each other and their environment to contribute to the achievement of environmental targets, supporting environmental policies in the European Union To inspire the young generation to take challenges and initiatives towards the environment and entrepreneurship to promote cultural awareness, tolerance and solidarity between countries to increase knowledge of the participants on Erasmus+, to support creating new socio-environmental business ideas and projects
