Social entrepreneurship as enabler of social inclusion

Objectives The project seeks to promote a model of inclusion of disadvantaged young people, especially those in marginalised communities, by tapping into the potential of social entrepreneurship for revitalisation, solution of local challenges and economic boost. Contextually, it seeks to upskill youth workers (including those of the consortium) to enable them to be agents of change in their local communities and pass their newly acquired knowledge and skills to the young people they daily interact with. Activities The project will start with the programme co-design, the creation of a multi-stakeholders' network and international forum. Subsequently, learning materials will be developed through webinars and conveyed in audio-visual pills, followed by matching up sessions. International learning activities for youth workers and young people together with a 6-months coaching will follow while the mobile app is developed. Finally, results are presented through a webinar, a policy brief and in a conference. Impact The project will result in an increase in knowledge and skills for all the youth workers and young people involved that will ultimately lead to the creation of a collaborative space for seasoned social entrepreneurs and aspiring ones. The results are also intended at an advocacy and policy-level with the recognition of social entrepreneurship as a tool for social inclusion in youth worn and possibly beyond.
