The kick-off meeting of the project Entrepreneurial Citizenship for social change - EPIC co-funded by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission took place online on March 27th 2024.
The meeting was attended by all partners of the consortium, which gathers six partner organisations from Italy, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Cyprus, Albania and Kosovo.
The project highlights the importance of active citizenship and social entrepreneurship in addressing societal issues and driving change. It recognizes the connection between social entrepreneurship and active citizenship, emphasizing the role of citizen-led initiatives in addressing social challenges. Social entrepreneurship is seen as a way for youth to utilize their skills and drive to develop innovative solutions while also addressing social issues and adding value to society. The project aims to encourage and support the establishment of social enterprises as a means to address youth unemployment and provide economic opportunities. It also aims to address underlying issues such as social exclusion and lack of skills training. By promoting a more active mindset among youth and empowering them to identify social issues and develop ideas for social enterprises, the project seeks to promote sustainable socio-economic development and improve the well-being of youth in the Western Balkans. Through its curriculum and toolkit, the project will guide and support youth in transforming their ideas into concrete and innovative businesses with a social focus, creating meaningful employment opportunities and contributing to positive societal change.
