Training course
Generation Empowerment through Non-formal Education for Youth Work
About the project
Generation Empowerment is a training course for youth workers about social entrepreneurship and working with marginalised young people, including refugees, migrants and young people with fewer opportunities. It is coordinated by Innoviera from Thessaloniki, and ArtInspire is one of eight partners from Estonia, Sweden, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Germany, Portugal and Türkiye.
The seven-day course in Thessaloniki, Greece, brings together 36 youth workers and youth leaders. They work with role plays, simulations, case studies and field visits, including a visit to an entrepreneurship centre and the simulation “In the Other Shoes” about the challenges young refugees face. Before the course each team researches youth entrepreneurship in its own country; afterwards the partners run workshops, webinars and local events.
The participants put together a toolkit of methods and good practice for supporting young people through entrepreneurship, which will be shared with youth organisations across Europe.
Funded by the Erasmus+ programme of the European Union (Key Action 1, mobility of youth workers).
