After official registration with the National Agency of Public Registry, the best 15 social enterprises will be funded with 2,000 euros for further implementation of their ideas.
About the project
The project “Building through Social Entrepreneurship” is funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented within the framework of the #EU4Youth programme. Its aim is to contribute to the strengthening of civil society in the beneficiary countries, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine. At the same time, it will enable young leaders to be active pillars of democracy, in society building and in political dialogue.
The project equips the youth of Georgia, Ukraine and the Republic of Moldova with the necessary skills and knowledge to create sustainable social enterprises. In addition, participants will improve their employability and develop a wide range of entrepreneurial competencies, including creativity, perseverance, teamwork and the ability to overcome difficulties in a simple way. The project will contribute to the development of a favorable ecosystem for social enterprises. Young people will have the opportunity to start or join social enterprises and become proactive change makers who engage, mobilize and inspire their peers and have a significant impact on them. Each social enterprise will be mentored by business volunteers or social entrepreneurs, and the most promising enterprises will receive further support, seed funding, visibility, connections, development and growth opportunities.
