Youth unemployment is one of the biggest challenges facing Europe today. Over 22% of those under 25 are unemployed. In countries like Spain and Portugal youth unemployment rate is even higher, 55% and 40% respectively. The way out of youth unemployment can be achieved by increasing the knowledge and skills of young people as stated by the Erasmus +.
14 Spanish and Portuguese youth will participate in this project. They face a risk situation as to be unemployed. Over the 11 months of the project, they will deal with this situation and fight to get out. The project aims to:
1. Strengthening entrepreneurship, innovation and creativity of young people
2. Increase the skills of young students or college graduates who face unemployment despite their studies
All this through a series of activities such as workshops, visits to companies, interviews with entrepreneurs, individualized support from experts, creating their own business plan... etc (in English) to be undertaken in the 2 transnational meetings to be developed in Spain and Portugal.
