Through project “Empowering Youth Entrepreneurship” we are seeking to provide opportunities for youth workers and young people to gain valuable skills for needed for work on their personal development, with emphasis on education, self-education opportunities creation and sharing skills with their peers.

Unemployment is a concern almost everywhere, affecting more than 73 million young people around the world in 2014. Although the global economy has shown fairly consistent growth over the past two decades, young people entering the labor market today are less likely to secure a decent job than labor market entrants in 1995. Economic growth has in many places not translated into sufficient levels of jobs creation, especially for youth. All partners involved in the project noticed a huge need for improvement in the field of entrepreneurship among their youth workers, as their present skills, competences and knowledge are not on the level they should be regarding this topic.

General issue and problem we are trying to address through this project is lack of opportunities for both youth workers and young people to get knowledge and develop skills and competences regarding entrepreneurship and self-employment. We will try to influence this through objectives of the projects:
1. Fostering of future cooperation among partner organisations involved in the project – cooperation and creation of future international projects for empowering entrepreneurial and self-employment skills of young people
2. Creation of multiplication workshops in local communities – all partner organisations will implement multiplication workshops where participants of the training course will share their new knowledge, skills and competences with other interested youth workers
3. Raising quality of work implemented by project partners – it will be done by equipping their youth workers with fundamental entrepreneurial skills and approaches that they will implement further in their work in partner organisations
4. Introduction of non-formal education methods and general promotion of Erasmus+ programme – encouraging partners to share tools and methods among each other, and to discover all possibilities of Erasmus+ programme for development and implementation of similar projects in the future.
