"There are many hurdles that societies face across the world. However, the reality shows that governments and NGOs can’t tackle those issues alone. This is because the nature of these problems is very diverse and solving them requires different solutions & approaches. We believe that regardless of different local settings, social entrepreneurship is the answer to combatting numerous social issues. Entrepreneurship (of any kind) can create workplaces for those in need. Moreover, it can also take on social issues and lead to wider potential benefits for the whole society. Yet, social entrepreneurship is still an unknown concept to most of the youngsters, as well as youth workers. Youth’s (entrepreneurial) ideas could be a key to progress. The main goal of the ""Social Entrepreneurship Heroes"" project was to grow future social entrepreneurs who could tackle various social problems within their local settings, as well as on a wider scale. This way, the project implemented a positive effect for both the participants & their communities.OBJECTIVES TO REACH THIS AIM- to identify the best ways to teach youth (or youth workers) about social entrepreneurship;- to develop, test & launch a non-formal training programme on social entrepreneurship, targeting youth workers & disadvantaged youth from EU & Partner countries; - foster capacity building and new social initiatives in social entrepreneurship subject;- to increase transnational cooperation & exchange good examples from project partner countries; - spread the project's ideas to a wider audience, to get more attention and to extend the network.
