The project "Entrepreneurship and Youth: Sharing creativity and social Initiatives”, is an initiative of Gantalcalá Association (Spain) together with other organization from Italy, within the Erasmus+ Programme, Key Action 2 Transnational youth initiative ( Strategic partnership in the field of education, training and youth). These European organizations active in the field of youth will develop a common activity programme, driven and developed by young people, in order to contribute to promoting the participation of young people from different European regions through the implementation of youth projects of social entrepreneurship, which contribute to promoting enterprise skills and attitudes that promote active citizenship and entrepreneurship among youth.

second phase, each partner will carry out social entrepreneurship initiatives
in their communities according with the Guidelines developed by Asociación
Gantalcalá: "Guide for Young Social Entrepreneurs": It contain the
most important aspects for the design, development and implementation of social
projects in a practical way. This document developed initially by the Spanish
youngsters involved in the project, and after the transnational meeting to be
held in September 2015, it will be amended by the contributions of youngsters
from other countries. The role of the managers is to stimulate and guide the
youngsters. The task for the partners in this stage
will be to support to the youngster for develop their own local initiatives.
A Youth initiative is a project initiated,
set up and carried out by young people themselves. It gives young people the
chance to try out ideas through initiatives, which give them an opportunity to
be directly and actively involved in planning and carrying out a project.
Participation in a Youth Initiative is an important non-formal learning
experience. While implementing a Youth Initiative, young people have the
opportunity to address specific challenges or problems encountered in their
communities.
