EllE is resulting from the current global challenges & local young needs. Advances in terms of human development has been uneven and deep challenges remain: many young people experiencing discrimination, limited political inclusion, high levels of poverty, limited access to health systems, educational opportunities & decent jobs. Young people are at the front-line of the impacts of unsustainable models due to their marginalization and higher vulnerability. Young people need to learn, acquire competence to build inclusive sustainable models of development. They need to shape the vision of the future to create it. Locally, young people are affected by the lack of opportunity by the society & labour market, they lack knowledge and need to develop skills about sustainable methods of development. EllE project aims to foster participation and cooperation of young people for sustainable development in the three peninsulas of the South Europe through: youth empowerment, fostering inclusive development and building resilient communities and nations.
