Indeed, young people will play a key role in the shaping of a sustainable future for our society, as outlined in “Youth and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. Through educating young people in the power of their actions toward diversity, poverty, gender inequality, climate change and other pressing societal issues, the project ECO-CIRCLE looks to instil young people with the capacities to build a more sustainable future.
Therefore, in this scenario, it is clear that the project ECO-CIRCLE: “Circular Economy as a tool to develop as a tool to develop an innovative eco-inclusive social entrepreneurship educational pattern for youth" aims to develop an educational framework for young social entrepreneurs and educators to instil them with knowledge in regards to an eco-inclusive Circular Economy business model.
The project ECO-CIRCLE was developed considering the fact that current socio-economic practices are no longer sustainable for our society or for the planet itself. There is an urgent need for new educational patterns to organize and promote a more eco-inclusive approach designed to benefit entrepreneurs, businesses, employees, society and the environment.
