How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

We aim to engage, positively influence and equip youth with digital, soft and entrepreneurial skills. We hold meetings with unemployed and disadvantaged local youth to help in their emotional, social and employability development in an informal setting but through educational processes. We develop supportive relationships for sustainable new experiences to foster increased confidence, ambition and empathy. This prepares them to make a positive contribution to society in adult life.
