Expert Circle: Impact 4 Jobs

Europe’s youth is Europe’s future. Yet five million young people in the European Union are without a job. And while the problem of youth unemployment is not new, effective solutions are hard to come by. How do we enable Europe’s youth to (re-)gain employment? How can we unlock hidden potentials through innovative design and novel partnerships? And what can we learn from effective bottom-up approaches to generate impact on a larger scale?

We will discuss these and similar questions at the EXPERT CIRCLE: IMPACT 4 JOBS with international specialists from various sectors: government and administration, business, civil society organizations, social enterprises, and academia. The objective is to take stock of current findings and bottom-up solutions to youth unemployment in the member states of the European Union.
