Entrepreneurship Starts Young
Turning passion into action, one young entrepreneur at a time.
Project Objectives
Encourage young people to become entrepreneurs
Our project aims to cultivate entrepreneurial skills in young people and equip educators with the knowledge and tools to engage youth in entrepreneurship education effectively. We strive to foster a mindset of initiative, leadership, and active citizenship among young individuals, empowering them to become future change-makers. Additionally, we aim to build a strong network connecting youth, educators, and entrepreneurs, facilitating the exchange of ideas, best practices, and opportunities to create a sustainable entrepreneurial community.
Expected outcomes
Active, educated and involved young entrepreneurs
Our project empowers young people to develop entrepreneurial skills and bring business ideas to life with expert guidance. We’re connecting organizations, educators, and entrepreneurs to bridge education, youth work, and business. By equipping youth and youth workers with practical tools, we aim to boost employability, spark innovation, and tackle challenges like youth unemployment. The impact will last through an online course and mentorship network, creating opportunities that endure.
