ToT on Cultural Entrepreneurship, Spain 2023
Since 2020, around the world, youth employment dropped by 8.7% and it illustrates the extent of the pandemic’s economic consequences. Not only have youth suffered more from the COVID consequences but young women have been hit the hardest by unemployment. Also, many young people face education and training disruption due to COVID, leaving them economically inactive. In this scenario, young immigrants find it even more difficult to find employment.
A possible win-win solution is to start a self-employment path and set up an entrepreneurship project. In this line, cultural entrepreneurship brings the best premises to capitalize on immigrants’ cultural background and become self-employed.
The ToT’s goals was to:
- improve youth workers skills and knowledge to develop a cultural entrepreneurship mindset,
- empower youth workers with tools & methods to successfully deliver cultural entrepreneurship trainings for young people & young immigrants,
- test the Handbook & Curriculum,
- define new initiatives to continue tackling the young immigrants’ self-employment measures.
This project was done with the support of the Erasmus+ Program.
