Profile of the participants:
This project has been created reflecting the needs a group of organisations working with young people,
which have been cooperating for some time now.
Lack of the some certain skills and knowledge like knowledge business sector, understanding financial risk
and management, having soft skills (communication, leadership, management, etc) stop them to act. At this
point NGOs can provide young people with the information and help on the topic of social entrepreneurship
and involve them into the issue. But there are not many organisations and youth workers who are
competitive enough in this field. The participants of the training course are youth workers and youth leaders
directly involved in work with young people, who can share their experience and want to develop new skills.
This training course will give to youth workers the possibility to understand the issue of social
entrepreneurship, to explore methods of working with youth on the topic of social entrepreneurship and
practical skills on running the social enterprise with their organisations (financial management, creativity,
soft skills, strategic planning of the ideas, etc.).
