Objectives

Entrepreneurship is a crucial skill that creates value for societies and can create and respond to economic opportunities. Our Eco-Entrepreneurship and Empower Eco-Youths Project is undertaking activities to equip young people with the characteristics of eco-entrepreneurship. This includes e-book content for games that demonstrate the positive impact of these activities on the natural environment through commercial and social media platforms. Our project supports the eco-entrepreneurial skills, active citizenship, and initiative-taking of young people, including those from disadvantaged backgrounds, through youth players. Through all our activities, e-content, and collaborations with partner organizations, we have achieved a transnational commitment to leaving a healthier, more environmentally friendly, and sustainable environment for future generations.

Background

The negative impact of humans on the environment has reached an undeniable level. The reckless consumption of environmental and natural resources is ultimately harming environmental resources. The EU supports innovative thinking, active participation, and the implementation of new strategies in the long term to achieve the European Green Deal's goal of becoming the first climate-neutral continent by 2050. Our project activities are driven by this goal and are aligned with the goal of comprehensively transforming Europe's entire strategy to be eco-friendly across a range of areas, from industry and finance to energy and transportation.To this end, project activities and e-content have been provided to young people to equip them with eco-entrepreneurship skills to quickly adapt to change and to develop an ecologically sensitive society of the future. Thanks to youth workers aged 30 and over, we have supported the development of eco-entrepreneurial skills, active citizenship, and a sense of initiative among young people, including those with disadvantaged backgrounds. Our activities, which promote creative learning and intercultural dialogue through eco-entrepreneurship, are also tailored to address social and societal needs.
