ERASMUS+ KA2
Sep 1, 2017 – Aug 31, 2019
Description
The objective of PROMYSE is to promote social entrepreneurship in the health/ social care sectors as an alternative pathway to youth self-sustainability, by developing the social entrepreneurship and business skills of unemployed youth, with relevant educational or professional background, and raising awareness on the benefits and added value of social enterprises to the community as a whole. In particular, PROMYSE will:
- Draw and build on best practices and transfer expertise from successful social entrepreneurship models identified in partners’ countries
- Develop an integrated online tool (self-enabling, networking platform) and a coherent EU methodology for youth capacity building that will outlive the project and stand out as a good and transferable practice
- Highlight bottom-up approaches in addressing pressing (mostly crisis-born) needs on health and care service provision
- Improve, assess and certify the skills (social, basic and business-oriented) of youth to bridge the gap between non-formal education and labour market demands
- Promote social entrepreneurship as an alternative path for self-sustainability while at the same time addressing pressing social needs
- Boost young beneficiaries’ self-confidence
