With the project Towards Social Economy – Young Social Innovators as Forerunners of Positive Change in V4 and WB6 we aim to explore the current developments of social economy in the two regions, in the light of EU enlargement, to analyze the WB potential for economic and social development, as well as to contribute to human capital development and talent acquisition of youth in the two regions, both also facing worrisome brain-drain rates. The project will also advocate for improved policy measures and action plans in V4 and WB6, creating an enabling environment for sustainable development and promoting V4 accomplishments in the social economy.
