Youth Living Labs is a transformative capacity-building project focused on youth empowerment. Funded by the ERASMUS-YOUTH-2024-CB programme, this initiative aims to develop an evidence-based, replicable, and market-driven model that facilitates the integration of long-term unemployed youth (aged 25–29) and NEETs (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) into both local communities and the labour market.
Project Implementation & Key Activities
The project hosts ongoing activities to foster youth engagement and collaborative implementation, including:
-
Workshops
-
Co-creation events
-
Internal progress meetings
These ensure strong partner collaboration and effective delivery of each work package (WP).
Recently, a co-creation workshop in Egypt focused on Work Package 5: Preparing. This package is designed to connect local Youth Living Labs with businesses and startups, creating innovative partnership opportunities and helping to bridge the gap between youth and market demands.
Youth Living Labs Training Programme
Currently, partners are working together on co-design and delivery of the Youth Living Labs Training Programme.
The Youth Living Labs Training Programme’s objective is to develop four inclusive, accessible, and digital learning programmes, specifically tailored to equip NEETs with 21st-century competencies and market-relevant skills.
Training Structure:
Each programme includes:
-

Training content is structured into four essential skill areas:

The training will involve a minimum of 150 participants, delivering around 5 hours of total learning time across four days.
