Today, we are launching a new pilot initiative in partnership with the CRT Foundation and the Italian government.
This initiative aims to provide training and medium-term mentoring to 20 young aspiring or new social entrepreneurs from the Euro-Med region. The type of social enterprise to be developed and implemented by these youth need to be linked to cultural and religious diversity.
The
selected youth will take part in a 5-day training in Italy in February
2013 where skills-building workshops on both the social and the business
aspects of such enterprises will be delivered by specialized trainers.
For a period of 6 months after this training, the 20 youth will receive
feedback and mentoring from successful/experienced social entrepreneurs
in the region and as well as a professional fund-raiser.
We are looking for 20 young adults from the Euro-Med region between the ages of 18 and 35 who are either budding social entrepreneurs in the sector of intercultural and interfaith dialogue, or who have agreat idea that could become a successful social enterprise in this sector.
There
is no participation fee, and all participants will be provided with
round-trip international tickets to Torino as well as accommodations,
meals and visa support.
For more information about this initiative called Young Euro-Med Entrepreneurs in Interculturality, including its application guidelines and application form, please see www.unaocyouth.org (under LATEST NEWS).
The application deadline is 11:59 PM, New York time, December 2, 2012. Questions about this program should be sent to YEMEI@unaoc.org
