MATRIX is a social entrepreneurship development programme, which aims to develop entrepreneurial competencies of future Social Change-Makers through boosting their personal, professional and socio-economic development.

The Youth Entrepreneurial Competence Matrix (YECM) is a young social entrepreneurship development programme, which aims to develop entrepreneurial competencies of future Social Change-Makers through boosting their personal, professional and socio-economical development but also, reduce unemployment and raise the quality of their life.

Promoting initiative competencies, Social Action and Enterprise skills mobilizes a person’s creative skills which in turn ensures their socioeconomic sustainment.

Social Action and Enterprise skills offer a major developmental opportunity – it offers a competency skillset which can assist to step out of standard societal roles offered by employment or education and consider business or social entrepreneurship as a career choice.

Key objectives:

• Participants will develop an entrepreneurial mindset to be able to turn creative ideas into entrepreneurial action, which will support their personal development, active citizenship, social inclusion and employability.
• Participants will develop communication skills, conflict resolution skills, a sense of initiative and negotiation will help contribute to young people’s personal and professional development and facilitate their transition into the job market.
• Participants will benefit from learning how to document their skills and competencies, as a way of personal and professional development (Europass and Youthpass)
• Participants plan and carry out local social action activities which will lead to social change in their communities and will allow them to mobilize their new social entrepreneurial skills;
