Why SOSUSK project ?
SOSUSK is meant to face the pivotal challenge of mobilising a transnational population of European Youngsters Neither in Employment or in Education or Training (following NEETs), providing them with social and green entrepreneurship skills and competences: the purpose is to ease their match with sustainable opportunities for employment or self-employment.
The SOSUSK partnership firmly believes that, even more in the current hard times, investing in decent job creation in the green and social entrepreneurship sectors, as well as in digital education and training opportunities for the youth, will contribute to the development of more prosperous and stable societies.
