This project focuses on the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), with a focus on the eighth goal: the promotion of decent jobs and economic growth and green entrepreneurship. How do I contribute meaningfully to a more sustainable world while creating economic opportunities, both for myself and for my wider community?
South Africa's Ubuntu philosophy ("I am because we are") is the link in all local and international actions and thus the project represents a true global friendship.
The project includes 10 meetings at local level in the national groups. In between, the two groups meet for two weeks each in Mannheim (June 2020) and in Cape Town (October 2020). The different project phases include excursions, the production of working materials and individual research and project planning.
The project may create jobs on the long-term perspective and thus contributes to economic growth. Entrepreneurial learning and methods that trigger creative thinking and problem solving will support the idea of self-employment, which is in high demand in both countries. On this basis, participants are supported to find a job that matches their talents, resources and potential.
