Project Summary

<< Background >>

Despite today’s youth being the most educated generation ever, young people are more likely to work on short-term and informal contracts with low pay. In the EU, youth represent 38,5% of the total unemployed population, while 4,6 million people aged 15-24 do not have a job. Two-thirds of the unemployed youth population are women. If we consider that almost every 5th woman is a single mother, their position is very ungrateful. Because of this, our primary focus was on the young women empowerment.

<< Objectives >>

This project was aimed to build the capacity of youth (work) organizations, their young women entrepreneurship empowerment centers on a local level and their youth workers in competences for entrepreneurial mind-set development through youth work in our communities and on the European level. This was achieved through extensive list of objectives connected to educational activities, development of educational materials and organizing activities in local communities.

<< Implementation >>

Project implementation included organizing preparatory meeting, 4 educational training courses for youth workers, development of 4 curriculums and 4 online courses, one study visit for youth workers and dissemination activities in local communities of each involved partner organization. Implementation was concluded with evaluation meeting on which the experiences, outcomes and outputs of the project were analyzed and served as starting point for partners’ planning of new initiatives/projects.

<< Results >>

Main project results are visible in development of 4 educational curriculums that can be used by all interested youth workers and organisations for future work on similar topics, 4 online courses for youth workers and youngsters, dissemination events organized in local communities of project partners and 4 educational training courses for youth workers coming from partner countries (not only partner organisations).
