CONTEXT In July 2016, Eurostat published the official statistics about unemployment in the EU. While the average unemployment rate in the EU is as low as 8.6%, huge discrepancies among member states are registered and recent developments show a persisting high youth unemployment percentage (18.6%). In the absence of clear policy action, it will be harder for unemployed people to find new jobs. Addressing these challenges, an array of literature predicts that the so-called “circular economy” would add a remarkable number of jobs and stimulate unemployed people re-join the workforce. ‘Circular Economy’ comprises such diverse aspects as product design, production processes, consumption, waste management, reuse and recycling, all of which present significant potential opportunities for job development and employment. OBJECTIVES Project 'You inCOME' aimed at the exchange of first-hand experiences, theoretical projects and context-specific initiatives will serve the purpose of deepening the knowledge about ‘circular economy’, creating moments of reflection and exchange of good practices not only for the young people involved, but also for the trainers, relevant stakeholders and the partners and organisations active in the project, thus laying the foundation for more cooperation efforts in the field of youth. The project also addressed 2 main priorities: - HORIZONTAL: Sustainable investment, performance and efficiency in education and training. - YOUTH: Promoting entrepreneurship education and social entrepreneurship among young people. ORGANIZATIONSTRAKYA UNIVERSITY Entrepreneurship Application and Research Centre aimed at performing applications and research studies on entrepreneurship and publish articles related to entrepreneurship, to examine the culture of entrepreneurship in Turkey, to analyze the essential circumstances and the problems related to these circumstances, to develop solution recommendations, to build an archive, a library and case data for the development of entrepreneurship and to help to organize conferences, seminars and courses on entrepreneurship.LEGACOOP PUGLIA represent about 500 cooperative enterprises, operating in varous sectors of activities (agriculture, traditional and innovative services, construction, social field, cultural field) through the entire region to promote the development of cooperation and mutual aid and the relationships between members ANIMAM VIVENTEM promotes the welfare of people, intervening at a psychosocial and educational level.
