Mobilising YOUth - Social Entrepreneurship for Peace
Date du début: 15 nov. 2013,

Mobilising YOUth: Social Entrepreneurship for Peace is an innovative project of the United Network of Young Peacebuilders (UNOY) that consolidates the organisation’s previous experience in peace education with the field of social entrepreneurship. Responding to unemployment, one of the foremost issues of youth in the UNOY network and indeed around the world, Mobilising YOUth will make explicit the links between unemployment, social entrepreneurship, sustainable peace and the role of youth. Livelihood opportunities and financial stability are well-documented sources of sustainable peace. It is, therefore, an important and innate next step of UNOY to provide a space for creative, innovative and entrepreneurial youth to develop the knowledge and skills needed to implement practical projects in their communities.The project will draw of youth participants from UNOY member organisations in Europe and Africa. Participants will first meet for Regional Training in Berlin and Lagos respectively, and then stay connected through an online platform. Those who show the most progress towards implementing their ventures will be invited to the International Summit to Pitch for Peace and learn from renowned social entrepreneurs through mentorship and study visits. The 24 highly motivated and visionary youth of the International Summit will conclude the training with a tangible business plan for small scale community development ventures. Six of the most promising ideas will be supported by a small grant to help them turn their idea into reality.The project will establish national, regional and global networks of young social entrepreneurs for peace. The increased capacity of UNOY’s member organisations to run projects on social entrepreneurship, creativity, employability and sustainable peace will carve a new path in the youth development sector that encourages young people to identify problems in their community and solve it through small-scale social innovation.
