1 – Young Leaders’ European Academy

Young Leaders’ European Academy (YouLEADEurope)  project believes that one of solutions for the current young unemployment passes through the university or development and training on the ICT based capabilities after graduation. The growing importance of ICT for both business operations and innovation is an opportunity for professionals and youngsters who are e-skilled. These competencies are critical for fostering both jobs created by existing companies through innovation and growth as well as self-created jobs by entrepreneurs (including social entrepreneurs) who leverage technology to create new products, services and business especially for young people.

The project aims to build competitive knowledge-based European youth societies through developing their techno-entrepreneurial potential and creativity competencies; and to transfer these into a workable solution against youth unemployment by closing the gap between the more advanced and successful EU members and the countries lagging behind. Project will encourage European partnership at a multi-level platform by linking the institutional environment –local authorities, business, NGOs, with the high educational institutions to operationalize a cross-sectoral and transparent European cooperation in education and training.

2 – EuroNetwork For Social Change  / KA2 / YOUTH

The European education agenda must go hand in hand with an agenda to create employment for university graduates and to channel the consistent attempts by all relevant actors – business, local and regional public authorities and the higher education institutions, in a long-term commitment. “EuroNetwork For Social Change” aims to build competitive knowledge-based European youth societies through developing their entrepreneurial potential and creativity competencies; and to transfer these into a workable solution against youth unemployment by closing the gap between the more advanced and successful EU members and the countries lagging behind. EuroNetwork For Social Change will encourage European partnership at a multi-level platform by linking the institutional environment – local authorities, business, NGOs, with the high educational institutions to operationalize a cross-sectoral and transparent European cooperation in education and training. The project is proposed by 6 partners from 4 EU countries and 1 partner country.
