Young Green Entrepreneurs
Developing Green Entrepreneurship Skills and Competencies of Young People in Sweden, Germany and Türkiye
This Erasmus+ project (01.09.2025 – 31.12.2026) empowers youth to develop green ideas into real opportunities for a sustainable future; the skills, knowledge, and spirit needed.
Together with local partners, young people will create green job ideas and explore real opportunities for eco-friendly entrepreneurship.
By combining training, mentorship, and collaboration with communities, the project helps shape tomorrow’s green drivers while supporting the goals of the European Green Deal and EU Youth Strategy.
What we are providing
We provide young people in rural areas with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to shape their own green business ideas. Through training, mentoring, and collaboration, participants explore practical solutions for everyday challenges – from local food and recycling initiatives to small-scale energy and eco-tourism ideas. Together with local partners, we support them in developing green projects and business cases that can grow and ideally respond to the needs of their communities. The project helps young people turn climate challenges into real opportunities for a greener, more sustainable future.
