Objectives

The main objective of the program is to support the creation of cooperatives for young people, to offer assistance and counseling services and to show the advantages of a social economy project. Young people will experience first-hand the process of creating and managing a fictitious cooperative (cooperative simulation), accompanied by professionals with experience in the social economy. We want young people to know the importance of thinking about new business projects that are much more social, cooperative, digital and sustainable.

Based on the main objective of the program, the following secondary objectives are designed:

• Work on the transversal skills of young people, on a personal and professional level;
• Encourage the commitment and individual and collective responsibility of young participants to the social, economic, digital and environmental needs of their city;
• Offer a response from the social economy to the needs of the city through business projects and self-employment.
