Reducing youth unemployment: setting up co-operatives to enhance working opportunities in the EU
Description of call
"Reducing youth unemployment: setting up co-operatives to enhance working opportunities in the EU"		 The general objective of the call is to enhance the development of cooperatives and promote the image of cooperatives among young people.

  • struggling with high youth unemployment
To achieve the expected results, the action will be built around 3 different topics
  • Topic 1: Delivering pilot training courses for students in secondary/higher education level
  • Topic 2: Cross-European workshops to share knowledge and learn from practitioners (‘train the trainers’)
