  • France – “MakeSense”

The meeting started with a welcome speech by the hosting organization after which partners presented themselves and their positions towards the achievement of objectives. During the meeting, it was discussed how to encourage young people to take an active part in the social entrepreneurship, be innovative and creative. More specific, the agenda how to facilitate the development of social business incubation for youth, carrying on a forum “Social business incubation for youth” in each Baltic country, the distribution of work between partners organizations, grants for the project – topics which were outlined at the meeting.

The Italian partner outlined the opinion of Altheo Valentini / Egina, European Grants International Academy Srls who said: I think generally, in Italy, we have some difficulties but we are growing on the issue of social entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship in the field of youth.”

After that, partners discussed the way of creation of the new platform which would encourage youth to be part of the project. The discussion was followed by the Training «How to create proper business model for social enterprise» which is planned to be held this summer in Latvia, Manor Ramava. Regarding this training, attention was paid to the issue of the selection of participants and the way how to encourage youth to apply. The task of the project is to lead young people on the right way to implement their ideas, give to youth a prompt how to start and show that support for the new ideas actually exists. The main barrier which does not allow youth to reach information directly is how the information is actually spread, the right way must be found through which youth will actually understand everything how it works. As objectives, to increase youth self-esteem, to instill confidence into young people’s minds that they can do everything despite on external obstacles, that young people have been always and always will be the hope of the world for the better future life.
