Policy Statement: Youth

28 March 2023: As the Social Enterprise World Forum (SEWF) Youth Forum takes place and just three weeks after the launch of the joint European Commission-OECD Youth Entrepreneurship Policy Academy, Euclid Network (EN) want to emphasise the need to continuously support youth. Young people are the future of our society and will bear the environmental and social challenges inherited from past generations. Social entrepreneurship allows young people to employ innovative ideas for business development while not further damaging the environment or society. Policy makers, finance providers and support organisations therefore must consider how they can support young people to become social entrepreneurs, allowing them to be economically active, contribute to an inclusive twin transition and build the economy and society of tomorrow.
