Summary what was training about

The social economy and social enterprises represent a fundamentally new way of doing business and, as such, they have the potential to profoundly transform the socio-economic landscape. In fact, they are playing an increasingly prominent role, which has been largely due to their ability to address some of the major challenges currently facing Europe, in particular the need to foster sustainable and socially-inclusive economic growth and create jobs.

Consequently, “Drive the change” project, in line with the Europe 2020 strategy, was seeking to address in various ways the European Commission aspiration to create social enterprises that will generate growth, and skill-building and at the same time address global challenges. “Drive the change” aimed to strengthen youth workers’ insight and knowledge on social entrepreneurship which could possibly operate as the main catalyst in inspiring young people to apply social entrepreneurship and accelerate the further development of social entrepreneurship culture across the EU.

The project used non formal learning methodology including methods such as: ice breakers, energizers, name games, reflection groups, working into intercultural subgroups, facilitated discussion, creative presentations, simulation, case study, and debates.

Participants were from Spain , Italy , Lithuania , Romaia , Bulgaria and Slovakia .
