“DigiPath - Youth Up 4 Possibilities” addresses youth unemployment by enabling shared digital youth work in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia.
Unsustainable youth brain drain is a big risk. Trends show young people migrating from WB6 economies, to Croatia and Slovenia, there is a lack of shared data on flows and quality opportunities. Four urgent concerns contribute to young people living in precarious conditions: unemployment, repercussions of the COVID-19 pandemic, sluggish transition to digital youth work, and absence of inter-sectoral collaboration. In the 24-month project, partners will collaborate to develop a digital tool that connects education, labor market and the youth sector to each other and young people. Enabling visibility about decent personal and professional development opportunities in home and destination countries.
The concrete, tangible product from this project would be a DIGITAL PLATFORM that will connect three crucial sectors for enhancing youth employment: the educational sector (universities, faculties, institutes, and other higher education institutions), the labor market and the civic youth organizations sector, all as opportunities providers.
