RECOVER – European Youth for a Green Recover
Summary of the project
The RECOVER project is a 24-month Erasmus+ project. The project aims to train unemployed or NEET young people to become and operate as green entrepreneurs by providing them proper training to be environmentally literate and aware and to develop green and digital technologies skills and competencies, thus providing them with new employability opportunities. It also aims to help youth workers/trainers adjust their training accordingly. Finally, the project aims to disseminate its results and activities at local/regional, national, and EU levels.
The project is designed to provide a way to address youth unemployment issues by promoting green entrepreneurship in line with the EU economy’s green transition efforts. More specifically, the project aims to equip young people and youth workers/trainers with tools, skills, and knowledge about the green economy, green entrepreneurship, and the use of digital technologies in order to contribute to a sustainable, green recovery from the ongoing socio-economic crisis that the COVID-19 pandemic has provoked.
