"The 21 months partnership project named ""Empowering youth to become social innovators"" aimed at promoting youth initiative in the area of community welfare, and more specifically at development of entrepreneurial mind and social innovation. This was realizing a long term mission to contribute to the recognition of youth achievement as an important condition of better access to the job market. Realized by a Czech youth organization DYNAMA and an Estonian NGO Youth Club Active, the project offered the participants, youth aged 14 - 21, a chance to develop knowledge, skills and experience important for becoming a social innovation promoter. The project activities took place in Brno and Tallinn from October 2015 to the end of June 2017. There were three sustainable social innovation model and one concept of social innovation developed by youth participants to address a need of a chosen target group representing the disabled and the economically excluded. The approach to social innovation was captured by animations. The project activities included a transnational seminar, a number of intellectual outputs and a final multiplier event - a symposium. The new key knowledge was shared by participant’s video blogs. The project outcomes were be promoted and disseminated by various PR and marketing tools including social media posts, visuals, strips, articles and street art objects to effectively target a wide young audience as well as those with special needs. There were also two public debates run to collect public feedback on the potential of the youth in the area of community welfare. The main methodology outcome are materialised social innovations and the the social innovation cook book - a useful reference material for potential brave young innovators. Non formal learning methodology was applied in all learning activities. By sharing project results internationally, both partnering organizations hope to attract wider international interest for a future transnational partnership on youth empowerment and social entrepreneurship."
