ABOUT THE PROJECT
BRAVO, in cooperation with “FONDACIJA PODUZETNIKA U BIH”, is announcing an open call for the Erasmus+ training course “Economic Inclusion Through Social Entrepreneurship”. This project consists of two stages, the first being held in Bugibba, Malta, and the second in Vinnytsia, Ukraine. The participants selected for the first stage of the project are not required but are encouraged to attend the second stage of the project.
The “Economic Inclusion Through Social Entrepreneurship” project is conceived as a response to pressing societal challenges—youth unemployment of marginalized groups, specifically cultural minorities, internally displaced peoples, refugees of wars and conflicts, and sustainability of the youth organizations supporting them.
Furthermore, the project tackles the economic integration of refugees and displaced persons, a significant and complex challenge influenced by variables including education, language proficiency, and the labor market conditions and integration policies of host countries.
AIM OF THE PROJECT
The project aims to tackle these issues innovatively through the lens of social entrepreneurship (SE), which offers a dual advantage: a pathway to the labour market and a platform for civic engagement. The project’s rationale is grounded in the belief that social entrepreneurship can be a powerful agent of change, providing sustainable solutions to social problems while
fostering economic growth and community cohesion.
OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT
- To provide youth workers, youth and community leaders working with individuals with fewer opportunities and of migrant backgrounds a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of social entrepreneurship
- To support participants in developing robust business plans for their social enterprise initiatives
