RECOVER – European Youth for a Green Recover

RECOVER – European Youth for a Green Recover

Project number: 2022-1-PL01-KA220-YOU-000085815

Project description:

The RECOVER: European Youth for a Green Recover is designed to address youth unemployment by promoting green entrepreneurship in line with the EU economy’s green transition efforts.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic consequences, youth unemployment, and green transition in Europe, the RECOVER project seems an innovative approach to young people, as research in European platforms indicates the lack of a project with the combination of objectives and results described below. Thus, the project topic becomes innovative and helps the target groups to be ready to cope with the challenging situation that the aforementioned issues have created for them.

Target group

The project is addressed to:

  • Young people, who are either unemployed or NEET
  • Youth workers/trainers

Project results

Expected Results:

  1. The RECOVER Practical Implementation Paper: An Introduction to Green Economy & Green Entrepreneurship, a collection of practical guidelines, information, and steps directly addressed to young people to help them become green entrepreneurs.
  2. The RECOVER Online Interactive Toolset, a web-based application addressed to both young people and youth workers/trainers aiming to assess the skills level of young people on three green competency thematics and to provide training based on these thematics, addressed to both young people and youth workers/trainers.
  3. The RECOVER environmental ethics campaign, a green awareness-raising campaign that includes a guide containing tips and suggestions on how to be an environmentally ethical entrepreneur, a series of podcasts/vidcasts with existing green entrepreneurs or influencers that describe their way of applying environmental-friendly business practices, and an online campaign including the dissemination of the developed material and workshops on how to be green digital entrepreneurs.
