Description

Start-up explorers is a project between 6 NGOs coming from Argentina Bulgaria, Italia, Peru, Romania
and Uruguay to encourage the cooperation between European & Latin American NGOs and skill up
human capital from NGOs (youth workers) by providing quality entrepreneurial education instruments,
supports the employability of NEETs and enhance the international dimension of youth activities.

the development of a concrete working tool that can be a support for them and for other educators
in their communities - a board game. At the same time, the three learning contexts – 1 training course

entrepreneurship education and to know better the entrepreneurial system in South America in order
to develop customized strategies at the level of youth organizations
