Europe needs more young social entrepreneurs right now who can discard traditional practices to tackle enormous social problems. In this Erasmus+ project exchange, we want to increase the competences of young people from Sweden, Romania and Turkey on social entrepreneurship in a local and intercultural environment, and gain knowledge and motivation to become the engines of social change by initiating social entrepreneurship projects.

The exchange will take place between the 8th and 17th of July in Hästveda, and will bring 36 participants from the 3 countries. As a participant, you will rediscover the meaning of entrepreneurship, social entrepreneurship, green entrepreneurship and other related entrepreneurship terminology and tools. You will come together with young people from other countries and seek solutions and create new entrepreneurship ideas and projects together.

At Project Pocket, memebers now have access to the location to train their dance whenever they feel for it. Self-organisation rules!

Dealing with a topic whose entrance is below the grass roots, we need to operate accordingly, immerging into culture like using public transport in Uganda.

But it is always worth it. From backyards of youth culture, to slums and local enthusiasts-journalists, a mighty picture of social culture where many issues of our own society get a new light, takes its form.

Tave oyu even tried to have a talk during a heavy tropical rain, being in a hangar covered with corrigered steel? It is a challenge of its own character…. Kampala is a very special place for social work.

In our project Break the Silence, a big part is connecting to specialists and creatives in media brunch and that we got some help with! Big thanks to Patricia and Abaas at MCI! Many giving talks, discussions and following meetings! The subject of sexual abuse is really difficult to tackle but it does help to bring in perspective from different countries, historic views and conditions.

Together with Folketsuniversitet we conduct a series of sessions where studying Swedish language goes along with cultural exchange and interpersonal communication. Results are great! Students reach their studying goals alost double as fast!

Breaking the Silence has not been expected to be an easy task, in understanding the conditions and premises of what we are dealing with. So we make out own map as we go….

Thanks to Swedish Institute support we can now extand our work to Uganda, where we hope to address issues of silence around sexual abuse and understand what hinders the public discussion in the subject.
