PermaCOOLtura: Permakulturowe podejście do poprawy kultury przedsiębiorczości wśród młodzieży

"<< Background >>Today's youth, in addition to the problems that young people have faced for centuries, must additionally confront two obstacles to their sustainable development. Like the current situation of climate change and youth unemployment. Poland ranks on the infamous list of European countries with the highest greenhouse gas emissions per capita in the last year measured, 2018 (Eurostat, 2021). The European youth unemployment rate has doubled in recent years, rising continuously since 2008 - the last great economic crisis. Now we are preparing for another crisis. Little is still being done to combat climate change, not to mention the fact that mere prevention may no longer be enough.Therefore, one of the most desired competences among the youth is sense of initiative and entrepreneurship, and a crucial role in building them should be played by education, also the informal and non-formal one, because of the lack of sufficient offer in this field in the formal education. ""PermaCOOLtura"". Entrepreneurship is an alternative path to the traditional career path that allows for financial independence and through which the risk of social exclusion is minimized.<< Objectives >>Our 3 organisations have decided to implement the PermaCOOLtura project with 2 main solutions: entrepreneurship and permaculture.
