The project “Idea Fix” – Youth Social Entrepreneurship is a joint initiative between Ukrainian and Polish youth organizations. It aims to promote international and intercultural cooperation between the two countries, while also addressing topical issues of social entrepreneurship and youth employment. The project will provide a 7-day youth exchange program, which will create a space for young people to meet, share and expand their knowledge and skills related to social entrepreneurship and youth unemployment. The project will also explore the development of innovative solutions that can address social problems and promote inclusion.
The main idea of the project is to promote social entrepreneurship as a possible way to solve social problems and increase employment inclusion of young people. By providing opportunities for young people to learn about social entrepreneurship and innovative solutions, the project aims to create a positive impact on the lives of young people and their local communities. This project also promotes the importance of intercultural communication and cooperation as a means of promoting positive social change.
The project is designed to involve young people aged 18-25 who are familiar with the subject of the project. The project aims to target young people who spend a lot of time on the street, have learning difficulties or fall out of the educational system. NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) will also be included in the project. Each partner country will select 10 participants (+ 2 group leaders) to implement this project, meeting the criteria for the target group of participants. Mixed groups are planned to achieve gender equality during project implementation.
