Entrepreneurship and artisanship opportunities for disadvantaged youth, or ArtiYOUth is an Erasmus+ project funded via the European Commission. The aim of this project is to enhance the employability of min. 720 disadvantaged youngsters by offering them courses and workshops during which they develop entrepreneurial and artisanship skills.

Challenge
Disadvantaged youth often face barriers to employment due to a lack of access to practical skills development and entrepreneurial opportunities. Traditional education systems may not offer tailored pathways to equip these young people with the skills necessary to succeed in the workforce or to start their own businesses, limiting their potential for economic independence.
Solution
The ArtiYOUth project addressed this gap by creating a series of four workshops and an e-learning platform specifically designed to teach entrepreneurial and artisanship skills to disadvantaged youth. Through hands-on training and accessible online courses, the project provided these young individuals with practical tools to enhance their employability and entrepreneurship potential.
Results
As a direct outcome of the ArtiYOUth project, 240 disadvantaged youth participated in the workshops and e-courses platform, where they developed valuable entrepreneurial and artisanship skills. This initiative contributed to improving the employability of at least 720 young people by offering them practical knowledge and business opportunities, helping them transition into the workforce or become self-sufficient entrepreneurs.
