The motivation for implementing the project stems from observations by partners of local needs among youth. Observations post-epidemic indicate an increase in youth apathy and decreased engagement in local communities. For this purpose, the partnership aimed to encourage young people to engage more actively and inspire them to develop and implement their own ideas, and try to turn these into later entrepreneurial ventures.

The project will deliver the following results:

• A methodology for youth workers on how to support the development of youth initiatives (theory, digital tools, activities, …)
• An online platform with virtual classrooms, educational materials, and curricula
• A call for young people for the best youth initiatives, which will be funded and implemented in five countries during the project.
