Start date: Jul 31, 2014, End date: Jul 30, 2015 PROJECT  FINISHED 

Fostering entrepreneurial dynamics among young people, leaders, trainers, youth workers, project multipliers etc from varied socio-cultural backgrounds aligns with European Union priority of creating employment for young people with fewer advantage and also encouraging economic mobility within EU and neighbouring EU countries, by exposing them to entrepreneurial and business opportunities; such as T-shirts making, Photography, Trading/buying and selling opportunities by exploring sites such as Alibaba.com, e-sourcing, supplying to government, European Union and buying items/products from producers and companies especially in China etc. 'YCP' will showcase the importance of networking to business opportunities through the encouragement of entrepreneurial activities among youth workers, trainers etc with fewer opportunities, this will on a long run make them independent, build their self confidence and esteem, take them of welfare packages and invariably contribute to the economy of their respective countries. Following successful hosting of ‘RTS’ 2011 Youth Reclaim the Streets, 'KIO' 2012 Kick It Out, Kick Racism Out, 'YES' Youth Expects Support 'EPAC' Euromed: Path to Active Citizenship 'YIDS' Youths Inclusion and Dialogue through Sport 'M4A' Motivate for Action: Intercultural Dialogue through Sports 'WARX' War Against Racism and Xenophobia and 'A4A; Activate for Action: Socio cultural Dialogue through Sports all youth led social empowerment initiatives and other developmental and empowering projects all primarily initiatives of young people with social responsibility perception and mentality; poised to overhaul their community and environment for good, become EU entrepreneurial ambassadors, and out to involve all citizenry in community work by incorporating all minority groups especially the migrant communities in Manchester, migrant population, inner city dwellers and other participating partner countries; ensure inclusive participatory process in community development geared towards emancipation, empowerment and entrepreneurial development of less privileged and young people with fewer opportunity which invariably leads to attitudinal changes in and among young people in the inner city living areas and communities. Reflecting on previous youth projects, we have come to appreciate the impact of inclusivity in project devolment and it's impact on social issues, community concerns such as youth unemployment, minority, exclusion, inclusion of disaffected young people, community cohesion, marginalization, self determination, equality, human rights etc. ''YCP' Project Objectives aligns with erasmus+ programmes in several ways most importantly by: • Adopting social economic activities in reducing economic isolation, exclusion and individualism; by involving migrant, Roma youths and other young people in partner countries in non-formal learning environment. (this aligns with YIA priorities of tackling the issue of youth unemployment as well as stimulating unemployed young people's mobility and active participation in society there by giving access to unemployed young people to all the opportunities that it offers • Addressing issues of poverty and marginalization and encouraging young people's awareness and commitment to tackling these issues for a more inclusive society. In 'YCP' project context, special emphasis is placed in particular on the inclusion of young migrants, disabled young people, and Roma youths •'YCP' equally stimulates young people, youth workers, leaders, trainers and project multipliers's spirit of initiative, creativity and entrepreneurship, employability, in particular through youth initiatives. • 'YCP' also promotes healthy behaviours through indoor sporting activities as means to encourage healthy lifestyles as well as foster social inclusion and active participation of young people, especially Roma youths in the society (aligns with Youth in Action annual priorities) 'YCP' productively engage youth workers, trainers, leaders, project multipliers and young people by providing something to do, where to go for them to build rapport, friendliness, cultural harmony and bonding (encouraging participation of young people in programme design etc) • 'YCP' challenged the group with experiences, to use their competencies to develop a peer entrepreneurial mentoring role to support other groups of young people in the community this aligns with YIA priorities of promotion of social and personal development of young people.
