The Visegrad V4 Gen Mini-Grant project, organized by Square of Youth Association in collaboration with partners from Poland and Ukraine, is set to take place in Budapest, Hungary, from March 5 to 9, 2025. This initiative aims to foster youth entrepreneurship by engaging young people in a 5-day policy-making hackathon. The event will focus on identifying key barriers and solutions that could help young people become entrepreneurs after completing their education.
The project targets young people aged 18-25 from Hungary, Poland, and Ukraine, with a total of 27 participants. The hackathon will promote teamwork and cross-border collaboration as participants will work in diverse, international teams to develop a policy document. This document will address the challenges faced by young people to become entrepreneurs and provide recommendations for policymakers.
An Advanced Planning Visit will take place from November 1 to 3, 2024, in Warsaw, Poland, where partner organizations, including Wielki Świat Foundation from Poland and Satellite NGO from Ukraine, will finalize the hackathon structure and logistics.
By the end of the project, the resulting policy document will be shared with relevant stakeholders to ensure that young voices are heard in shaping the future of entrepreneurship in the region.
The project is financed by Visegrad Fund. If you would like to take part in the hackathon in March, follow SOYA on social media to be updated!
