EDITORIAL
One of the global effects of the economic
crisis and years of its slow recovery is the
current alarmingly high rate of unemployment
in many countries around the globe. Partners
from 4 continents developed a project that will
contribute to improve the quality of support
systems and the capabilities of youth NGOs
dealing with unemployed young people. The
aim is to enhance young people knowledge
and understanding of green entrepreneurship
and to raise awareness about its multiple
opportunities.
During the project, youth workers active
within the partner organisations will elaborate
an educational module in the field of green
entrepreneurship and youth employability and
will attend an international training to improve
their didactic skills.
After completing the training, they will pilot-test
the gained learning in their local environment:
groups of young unemployed people will be
formed in each country. Under the mentorship
of youth workers, the participants will achieve
the expertise needed for planning green
business ideas and actively participate in the
green labour market.
Partners believe there is no more creation of
traditional job, as we knew it before, which
means, that we are now the creators of our
own future. Youth can play an important role
in this process.
They have more time on their hands, they
are able to come up with innovative fresh
ideas and have an easy connection with the
world through latest technology. We are here
to support their potential and to guide them
in sustainable entrepreneurship.
In order to raise awareness about green
entrepreneurial skills for youth employment,
partners are going to create three Newsletters
that will inform you about the project and its
results, including examples of good practice
and interviews with green entrepreneurs.
The partnership wishes to raise awareness
about green entrepreneurial skills for youth
