Concrete ways (practical examples, methods, tools, tips, etc.) in which youth workers can support/coach young people towards creating their own job/business will be explored and identified during the seminar. In order to facilitate the links and exchanges with other sectors, formal education and business representatives will be invited to the seminar.
