EPIC – Entrepreneurial Citizenship for Social Change

The EPIC project aims to foster entrepreneurial citizenship among youth in the Western Balkans.

Operated by: KMOP Education & Innovation Hub

CHALLENGE

While social enterprises exist in various forms across the Western Balkans, their growth potential is hindered by several obstacles, impeding their ability to effectively tackle social issues and provide viable employment opportunities for young people. According to the Regional Study on Social Entrepreneurship in the Western Balkans conducted by the Regional Incubator for Social Entrepreneurs in 2020, a crucial challenge that should be addressed is the limited awareness and understanding of this entrepreneurial model among youth, stakeholders, and the general public. This lack of awareness inhibits the growth of the sector and prevents it from fully harnessing its potential for social impact.
