The partners are experienced in working with young people aimed to promote social entrepreneurship of NEETs in order to foster transition to autonomy and employability/entrepreneurial engagement.
The aim of the UCE LAB and its training is to impart skills in the areas of social entrepreneurship that relate to social issues in urban areas. Young people get the chance to implement innovative ideas based on best practices and to create a social surplus for their local society.
