Nowadays, in a period of economic recession, social economy is internationally one of the main issues in the European public policy. The reason for this is that social economy fights social exclusion and unemployment. People who do not have the necessary qualifications and work experience gain the opportunity to return to work or to find work. Moreover, de-industrialization in many European countries has limited the permanent, full time and formal work. Under these circumstances, the social economy appeared to be the best option as an additional source of employment, since it generates jobs and entrepreneurship by meeting social needs and very often by deploying the socially excluded. Partly within and partly alongside the universe of social economy organizations, social enterprises have emerged in recent years as a new and very significant phenomenon. Over recent years some social enterprises have grown and developed – but many are still waiting to take the first step. Through this project we aim at ensuring an entrepreneurial approach to solving social and environmental problems in the countries part of the project and to encourage and support the development of a new generation of social entrepreneurs. The learning objectives of this project are: - To become inspired social entrepreneur or change-maker; - To understand better the term "social entrepreneurship" and to raise knowledge and gain new experiences about it toward working with youth people; - To start the process of creating social venture through gaining skills and knowledge for writing projects ideas and business plan; - To gain skills and knowledge that will help to the participants to get access to labor market; - To discover or understand better the social and environmental problems in their countries and to get to know the situation in other countries; - To be inspired and motivated to bring changes at home and start to work for improvement. -To offer the opportunity of meeting possible partner groups among EU and EECA countries. The training will be 6 days, with 36 participants from UK,Turkey, Italy, Bulgaria, Poland, Latvia, Estonia . The venue will be in Cardiff in the UK. Furthermore, 1 trainer will come from Turkish partner, 2 support staff and 1 facilitator will work from UK. This project will be based on non-formal education. At the end of the project it is expected to have concrete ideas for social ventures, to create on-line platform (blog) for mapping the social entrepreneurship opportunities in the countries part of this project and to continue the cooperation and networking between the participant. In future we want to gather again and to know how the development of the ideas goes and what the young people need – directly support the early stage development of these social entrepreneurs by providing a range of supports that include financial investment, technical training, peer networking, mentoring or links to other social entrepreneur networks.
