Unlocking Your Future: Entrepreneurship & Environmental Action for Youth
The European Union is tackling the challenge of youth unemployment, a problem that's become even more urgent due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Greece, in particular, has one of the highest unemployment rates in the EU, highlighting the need for creative solutions. Our program is here to empower young people like you (ages 18-30) to harness the power of entrepreneurship as a tool to combat unemployment.
Greece has a rich history of entrepreneurship, with a high number of businesses per capita. However, many of these ventures have struggled due to a focus on low-growth, consumption-driven sectors. This program aims to shift that focus, encouraging young entrepreneurs to pursue innovative, productive, and sustainable business ideas that can drive real economic growth
In addition to addressing unemployment, our program also tackles pressing environmental issues. Greece, like many countries, faces significant ecological challenges, from forest degradation to polluted beaches and lakes. We believe that today's youth can be the driving force behind a greener, more sustainable future.
This initiative was born out of lessons learned from a previous successful youth exchange focused on ecology. By listening to feedback from participants and collaborating with our dedicated partners, we've crafted a program that not only meets the current needs of young people but also aligns with the new regulations and realities of our time.
Our project, which has the support of the Erasmus+ program, places an emphasis on developing key competencies, particularly in entrepreneurship. But entrepreneurship is more than just starting a business—it's about fostering sustainable economic growth and driving development without compromising our natural resources
Through this program, you'll explore the full spectrum of entrepreneurship, discovering and nurturing your potential. We aim to equip you with the skills and knowledge to create businesses that are not only successful but also sustainable, innovative, and beneficial to the wider community
Join us on this exciting journey to unlock your potential, contribute to a sustainable economy, and make a positive impact on the environment. Your future—and the future of our planet—depends on it.
