The project will connect young entrepreneurs from Romania, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, and help them to develop their capacity, as well as to support the establishment of a favorable ecosystem for social entrepreneurship in Moldova, Ukraine and Romania.

The Project’s main objective is to foster the empowerment of the entrepreneurial potential of young people from Moldova and Ukraine in the field of social entrepreneurship, notably with a view to contributing to social cohesion, employment, inclusion and reduction of inequalities.
