CirculYOUNG
Empowering Young Entrepreneurs to progress in Circular Economy
CirculYOUNG is a European Social Fund+ project designed to upskill migrant youth NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) by fostering entrepreneurship and circular economy practices to encourage sustainable employment. The initiative offers tailored training programs and resources for both young people and youth workers, equipping them with the skills needed to thrive in a green economy. The project primarily supports migrant youth NEETs seeking employment or entrepreneurial opportunities, as well as youth workers and educators who require tools to better assist migrant communities. Additionally, CirculYOUNG collaborates with organizations and policymakers involved in youth entrepreneurship and sustainability, ensuring a comprehensive approach to empowering marginalized groups and promoting eco-friendly economic practices.
CirculYOUNG is led by a consortium of expert organizations across Europe, including:
- Roscommon LEADER Partnership (Ireland)
- Training 2000 (Italy) – Specializing in vocational education and workforce development.
- CRADLE (Greece) – Focused on social innovation, circular economy, and youth empowerment.
