Challenge:Youth “Skill up!”
We spend days and nights thinking about our life and future. Finding opportunities and taking chances is our biggest priority and at the same time, our biggest fear. But at the end of the day, what takes real guts is to hold onto and create the future you believe in.
Today, more than ever, it is important to mobilize youth in obtaining new knowledge, skills and experiences. Today, more than ever, it is crucial to encourage the spirit of initiative, creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship. We all have problems, but people with entrepreneurship attitude find the solution and actually do something about it. Today, more than ever, it is inevitable to stimulate non-formal education and offer learning experiences for personal and professional development of youth. Can you find reasons not to join this global trend? Neither could we.
