ABOUT THE PROJECT

The project “DREAM AFTER COVID”  is a collaborative initiative designed to connect youth workers and young individuals facing fewer opportunities across multiple countries. This project aims to foster a sense of solidarity, collaboration, and mutual support among young people, enabling them to engage in social entrepreneurship and contribute to their communities’ post-COVID recovery.

The project involves four partner organizations from different countries: Spain, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, and Egypt. Each organization will contribute 10 young individuals and 1 youth leader, totaling 40 young participants and 4 youth leaders.

OBJECTIVES OF THE PROJECT

1. Building a Supportive Network: The central objective of the project is to establish a secure support network for social entrepreneurship among the participating youth. This network will comprise youth workers, young individuals, and mentors from each partner country. The network’s primary goal is to provide a platform for participants to collaborate, share ideas, and refine the implementation plans for their social entrepreneurship projects.
2. Sharing and Addressing Challenges: During the Youth Exchange, participants will have the opportunity to share the projects they have developed, discuss the main challenges they face, and highlight how their initiatives contribute to the post-COVID recovery process. This knowledge exchange will foster a deeper understanding of various approaches to social entrepreneurship and inspire innovative solutions.
3. Exploring Democracy and Policies: The project will facilitate an exploration of democracy and policies related to entrepreneurship and youth in the participants’ respective countries. Participants will learn about the policies that either support or impact entrepreneurship and youth development. Furthermore, they will discover the democracy management tools that have been developed to ensure effective governance.
4. Creating a Safe Environment: The project aims to create a safe and inclusive environment where participants can freely share their ideas, cultural expressions, and experiences. This environment will encourage open dialogue and understanding, fostering cross-cultural learning and collaboration.

Expected Outcomes:

• A well-established support network for youth workers, young individuals, and mentors from partner countries, fostering ongoing collaboration and support.
• Enhanced understanding of democracy, policies, and tools relevant to entrepreneurship and youth development.
• Strengthened social entrepreneurship projects that contribute to post-COVID recovery efforts in each partner country.
• Enriched cross-cultural understanding and appreciation through the exchange of ideas and cultural expressions.

They design new approaches to increase the participation and awareness of young people and urge them to contribute to building more inclusive society. The heart of PASOS’s mission lies in its commitment to empower young people to take an active role in shaping their communities and the world at large.
