Main Activity: Training Course, Pissouri, Cyprus | 17–25 May 2025
Host: ACPELIA – Active Cypriot Programs and European Learning Into Acceptance
We are proud to have taken part in the Erasmus+ project SCRATCH-PRO, focused on sustainable entrepreneurship and youth empowerment. The project was expertly implemented by ACPELIA and brought together 36 youth workers from 9 countries for an intensive, hands-on training in Cyprus.
Our organisation prepared and supported four Bulgarian participants:
Harieta Savova, Vesselin Arnaudov, Kristian Kostov, and Radostina Hristova – all of whom come from rural areas and underprivileged backgrounds. We conducted pre-departure preparation to ensure their successful integration and learning.
The training was well-organized, content-rich, and delivered using non-formal education methods that promoted critical thinking, social responsibility, and sustainability. Facilitators created a vibrant and inclusive learning atmosphere, supported by high-quality logistics and intercultural experiences.
Key outcomes include:
-
Increased knowledge of SDGs and social entrepreneurship
-
Development of practical tools and soft skills
-
Strengthened international cooperation and networking
-
Award of the Youthpass certificate for each participant
We commend ACPELIA for their excellent coordination and strong educational impact. The SCRATCH-PRO project empowered our team to be agents of change in their communities.
