The UIET Association partnered in a transformative initiative to tackle youth unemployment in Europe by promoting entrepreneurship through social crowdfunding. Targeting young people in high-unemployment countries, the project aimed to equip them with the skills and knowledge to develop, fund, and present their business ideas to investors, utilizing European crowdfunding platforms. Activities included educational visits, workshops, and digital skill development to enhance participants’ entrepreneurial, mathematical, and digital competencies.

This project addressed significant barriers faced by young Europeans in the job market, such as a lack of practical skills and access to startup capital. By fostering a diverse group of young entrepreneurs, the initiative aimed to create new employment opportunities, contribute to economic resilience, and promote a culture of innovation. Aligned with European Youth Goals, the project emphasized inclusion, gender equality, and quality employment, aiming to reduce youth unemployment and strengthen European identity and cooperation.

As a key partner, the UIET Association from Romania actively participated by sending young participants to mobility activities, empowering them with valuable experiences and insights. Through this involvement, the UIET Association contributed to the broader goal of fostering entrepreneurship, reducing youth unemployment, and building a more inclusive and resilient European economy.
