Objective
- To empower young migrants and refugees with digital entrepreneurship skills and enhance employability;
- To foster social inclusion through tailored training that respects diverse cultural, linguistic, and socioeconomic backgrounds;
- To equip youth workers to effectively mentor and support young individuals with migrant backgrounds in their digital entrepreneurship journey;
- To promote equal opportunities for young migrants and refugees to contribute to the community.
Activities
Project objectives will be achieved through a series of interconnected activities designed to empower young migrants and refugees with digital entrepreneurship and employability skills. These activities include creating a state-of-the-art youth competence map through self-assessment surveys, developing a comprehensive micro-training course with three levels of difficulty and 60 modules, and producing guidelines for youth workers based on training insights. These activities aim to equip participants with relevant skills, foster innovation through hackathons, and ensure the project's long-term impact by training youth workers to effectively support the target group.
