Context: 

The entrepreneurship of young people is in the heart of the public policies for many years. Projects emerged on territories, carried by elected representatives, communities, NGO, universities… but it’s still difficult to mobilise young people on the spirit of initiative and to encourage them to concretise their ideas.

Project idea summary: 

The entrepreneurship of the young people is in the heart of the public policies. Projects emerge but it’s still difficult to mobilise young people on the spirit of initiative and to encourage them to set up projects. There is still hesitations :
- Lack of visibility of the entrepreneurial programs
- A technical support not enough specific
- Educational programs which do not emphasize attitudes and entrepreneurial skills
- Difficulty translating ideas into actions
Action 1 : To carry-out a participatory appraisal with young people
For example : Produce a subjective map (it’s also important to listen to the voice of young people to determine the future youth policy of their territory)
Action 2 : To implement an adapted support for young people
For example : Development of new tools such as participative platforms, modules of training “social and solidarity economy”.

Objectives: 

To carry-out a participatory appraisal with young people
Produce a subjective map : through this educational practice, the objective is to listen to the voice of young people to determine the future youth policy of their territory. “To have a representation of its territory allows to know and to represent itself to it. To be an actor in its space, it is necessary to know outlines”. This action, accompanied by a therapist, was already led with 23 different groups, in France and in Europe. It seemed interesting to imagine an exchange around this practice.
To implement an adapted support for young people
Development of new tools such as participative platforms, modules of training “social and solidarity economy”.
