The project ''We can do it: On the way to Social Entrepreneurship'' is a shared project idea among partner organizations and came up as a result of several months discussions between partner organizations and analysis of results and impact from other TC under YiA and E+. In a more specific context addresses the needs of youth workers (both genders, 20 years+, some pf them face fewer opportunities). These youth workers of partner organizations (Estonia, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Spain, Malta, Romania, Turkey, Poland, Lithuania) mention quite often the need to be more developed in professional and personal level in order to be more effective in facing demands within their life and working field. Therefore we designed this project to foster the development of our youthworkers for being further competent on implementing inclusive practices and understand (and support he implementation) further the social entrepreneurship.In micro level through this project we want to provide means, methods, examples, practices and share ideas through joyful learning using non formal approaches in order to empower the youth workers with the development of their basic key competences and with the increase of their repertoire of practices. In macrolevel we seek for enhancing youthworkers acquiring tools and means in order to facilitate them to:-empower the implementation of successful practices for supporting, social inclusion and social entrepreneurship that are necessary within their organization;-promote Social Equity whenever is needed and-assist youngsters within their society to turn into more persistent in building their future and supporting their community in the framework of innovation and entrepreneurship.So,we have decided that it would be a good start for supporting our youthworkers to implement a 13 months project and deliver an 8 days TC (with 22 participants, in Larnaca,Cyprus 13-22/8/16) in order to propose and share ideas and solutions to the identified problem.

Moreover we will implement outdoor activities such as exploring/investigating in order to facilitate the motivation and flash mob making.- promote visibility, dissemination and sustainability of the results with all partner organizations;- bring and establish a stable and fruitful impact to the participants, to their organizations, to local, regional and wider LLL Society.The concept behind the structuring of the project is based on Instructional Scaffolding, therefore all of the objectives were set according to the needs of the participants in accordance to project managers expertise.
