YOUTHShare Project in Greece
"A Place for Youth in Mediterranean EEA: Resilient and Sharing Economy for NEETs"
The project “A Place for Youth in Mediterranean EEA: Resilient and Sharing Economy for NEETs” (YOUTHShare) aims at reducing the unemployment of youth, and especially of NEETs (people Not in Education, Employment or Training), in coastal and island regions of Mediterranean European Economic Area (EEA).
YOUTHShare is addressed, amongst else, to low-skilled women and migrants between the age of 25 and 29 years old, who are not in education, employment or training.
The project, by using innovative tools for the outreaching, counselling, skills boost and job matching of young people with enterprises active in social or sharing economy, will enhance youth employment. The project’s objective is the reinforcement of NEETs’ employability in circular economy, social entrepreneurship, sharing economy and resilient sectors of the local economies, such as agrofood and tourism.
YOUTHShare project is funded by Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway through the EEA and Norway Grants Fund for Youth Employment.
YOUTHShare project offers an opportunity to young people to strengthen their social and emotional skills through coaching, to be trained for 120 hours in resilient sectors through innovative educational material and work as an “intern” in a relevant local firm.
