SOCIAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP – GIVING YOUTH A CHANCE TO MAKE A CHANGE

The aim of the project is to encourage/inspire the youth to help to tackle social issues in their communities. To tackle communities’ pressing social issues Global Human Rights Defence would like empower the youth with ideas and tools to productively serve to communities’ social interests. Through social entrepreneurship the youth can get a chance to make a change. This project will focus on disadvantaged groups and innovative ideas on how to improve disadvantaged groups’ social cohesion, social equality and employment. Therefore within the project content we will focus on human rights, women rights and minority rights. The objectives of the project are to address the social issues and develop practical means for tackling these issues. Moreover the project is using active citizenship approach to bring on beneficial social change. The project has a long term added value in regards to its contribution to EU social economy at large since social entrepreneurship has a great potential to fill in the gap between public and private sector.
