Foster the active participation of youth in both democratic life and in the labour markets of UKR, MLD, GEO and ARM with a special focus on disadvantaged youth, thus contributing to sustainable and smart growth, social cohesion and reduction of inequalities in EaP countries.
Foster youth social entrepreneurship and develop youth’s career management skills, digital skills and skills needed for green transition in UKR, MLD, GEO and ARM through the innovative educational concept SSC, with the integral involvement of civil society actors, authorities and entrepreneurs at local, regional and national levels.
Output 1: The necessary foundation has been laid for the development of successful SSC in MLD, GEO and ARM by capacitating representatives of CSOs and youth centres as competent trainers, developing educational materials and establishing an online portal for SSC.
Output 2: An education programme on SSC with the potential for national and international enlargement has been implemented in schools across UKR, MLD, GEO and ARM, resulting in at least 24 established SSC, and 100 young people have completed short internships in social enterprises.
Output 3: Best practices from the local pilot programmes are disseminated to the national level of all four countries through awareness-raising work and published materials, as well as through the integration of the SSC model into curricula and/or local school systems in MLD, GEO, and ARM (based on the successful Ukrainian experience).
Output 4: Permanent national and transnational SSC networks and partnerships are created and an annual award for the best SSC in UKR is established.
Output 5: Youth affected by armed conflicts (those who are confronted with the war atrocities and psychological and social traumas) received skills and knowledge for enhancing economic and societal resilience in their countries through access to within the project developed online courses on social and green development skills and psychological support.
