Project Summary

The inclusion deficit left open by formal educational setups combines with the structural bias of the labor market against low-qualified profiles, determining a concerning proportion of long-term unemployed among the youth. According to European statistics 2018 (Eurostat), 16% of the EU population between 20 and 34 belong to the NEET category. The youth who are neither in employment nor education highest rate are in Italy (28,9%) and the lowest in Sweeden (8%). In 2018, the share of young people in the EU who were NEET’s was lowest in cities (15.1 %) and highest in rural areas (18.3 %), with towns and suburbs reporting a NEET rate (17.3 %) between these two extremes. In the field of youth, in line with the proposed EU Youth Strategy 2019-2027 project covers the following priorities – foster the inclusion and employability of young people with fewer opportunities (including NEETs), ease the transition of young people from youth to adulthood, in particular, the integration into the labor market; develop their competences, setting quality standards, ethical and professional codes.

Objectives

The project idea was to create cooperation among countries affected by massive youth unemployment phenomena, with a concrete focus on extracting the educational potential of

Personal development, Rural Needs’ Analysis, Storytelling, and ICT as NFE pathways to foster entrepreneurial empowerment and concrete transition from ideas to action in the field of Social Entrepreneurship among the youth, in combination with NFE.

“EntrepRURAL socialy” was a Strategic Partnership in the youth field aimed at promoting the role of Social Entrepreneurship (SE), in combination with Non-Formal Education (NFE) and practical learning, as a tool for social inclusion and employability of disadvantaged sectors of the youth population from a rural area.

Target Groups

The direct target group of the project was young NEETs (not employed in education, training or in the labour market) aged 18-30 in all partner countries and Europe.
