Project Summary

The project “Dive in Social Entrepreneurship” was implemented in a period of 17 months and it included the following partners: YAK (Macedonia), NYFB (Bulgaria), IBC (Turkey), OENEF (Greece), EuroDEMOS (Romania), ACI (Costa Rika), Art 22 (Brazil) and Belle & Co (South Africa). The key aim of the project was to provide a way for active development of human capital, practical encouragement of social entrepreneurial activities and establishment of effective pathways to youth employment in strategic cooperation with different stakeholders. Within the project we have implemented the capacity building activities (kick of meeting, local researches and evaluation meeting) and mobility activities (seminar, training courses, study visit and job shadowing). Through implementation of the activities we were striving towards to tackle various aspects of Social Entrepreneurship (SE) and develop competencies of all involved actors to effectively fight youth unemployment. The activities were based on variety of techniques of non-formal education and they succeeded to support active role of the young people in the project activities. Furthermore, we are satisfied that the project activities targeted various groups including young people and leaders, youth workers, program managers and coordinators, representatives of institutions and local authorities. Besides developing capacities of the participants the project also aimed to especially support creating cross-sectorial cooperation that is being consider by the partners of this project to be one of the key element in the process of creating support entrepreneurship environment in participant’s countries. The project brought several key results as: 8 national reports from the research phase, Comparative analysis, reports with key methods and lessons learned from each mobility activities and ‘Guide for Future Entrepreneurs’ that contains lessons learned through project and practical tips that can be applied by different stakeholders in the communities. All of these results were published online on the project web site. Moreover, each participating organization realized one activity where the results and conclusions from the project were presented. To sum up, within 17 months of work the project “Dive in Social Entrepreneurship” reached over 1,000 young people from Europe and the world, FB network of 115 young people, youth workers, social entrepreneurs, over 100 pieces of media coverage of the project activities, 36 TV and radio pieces achieved.
