The capacity building project “E3: Entrepreneurship Education for youth Employment” that will gather a global partnership of 14 diverse organizations from 3 continents for the common efforts towards fostering social youth entrepreneurship.
“E3” is an innovative project in terms of its approach and methodology, diverse and global partnership, and what is the most important, in terms of focus on s
ocial entrepreneurship as a pathway for fostering youth employability. We believe that with such a unique potential of our consortium, we’ll be able to bring a real change to the world’s social capital and employability potential of young people. Aims and objectives of the project
E3 aims to respond to a global challenge of today – youth unemployment. The problem of youth unemployment is a case that demands not only transformations at the labour markets, but new innovative elements and approaches that will create opportunities for “transformations” of NEETs. Thus the main idea of E3 is to contribute to fighting youth unemployment through providing youths with practical tools on Social Youth Entrepreneurship (SYE). Social Entrepreneurship being another recently growing trend in Europe, in the same time still stays undiscovered for NEETs and is not being used as an opportunity to enter the labour market while this sector can employ society’s most fragile members as NEETs are. The activities foreseen within E3 will directly impact youths’ skills and capacities
through SYE education and increase NEETs potential to be employed, especially in the field of social enterprise that being a newly appeared labour market sector lacks human resources and due to its social focus can employ society’s fragile members.
