Project priorities and objectives:

The main aim of the project is to help young people (aged 18-30) with fewer opportunities to become social

entrepreneurs by providing them with appropriate training through mentoring and online tools to develop and

implement their ideas (Objective outlined in relation to the consortium’s priorities). To this end, it will rely on

specially trained social/youth workers, specialists and entrepreneurs.

The project therefore aims to:

Priority 1: focus on promoting active citizenship, initiative and social entrepreneurship among young people.

Thanks to the Mentorship Programme (MP), Capacity Training (CT) and the creation of the online Social

business Planning Programme (SBPPO) for young people with fewer opportunities, Digital Hoop will make

it easier to become entrepreneurs.

Priority 2: strengthening the employability of young people. Digital Hoop will enable young people

 who so wish to develop the knowledge and skills needed for better business or work opportunities

 (hard and soft skills, necessary for the labour market apart from becoming a social entrepreneur);

Priority 3: Promote quality, innovation and recognition of youth work. Digital Hoop, through communication

campaigns, will disseminate the results of the project and those obtained by young participants with fewer opportunities.

Direct target group:

1) Young NEETs aged 19-29 who want to improve their entrepreneurial skills.

2) Youth and social workers working in youth centers, career and recruitment organizations, and other economic structures.

Indirect target group:

Entrepreneurial trainers, business experts, and owners of social enterprises (selected based on their skills relevant

to the project theme).
