This Curriculum is developed within the project “Capacity building in youth work for social entrepreneurship of youngsters with disabilities (SocEntYwD)”. The project is focused on strengthening the capacities of youth work organisations and professionals to design, manage and implement inclusive educational programmes that support young people with disabilities to explore, develop and sustain social entrepreneurship initiatives. It builds on a transnational needs assessment and on the practical experience of partners from EU and Western Balkan countries, with attention to the realities in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo.
The purpose of this Curriculum is to provide both a conceptual framework and a set of ready-to-use educational sessions for trainings of youth workers. It supports youth workers in deepening their understanding of disability and social entrepreneurship and offers practical tools to support YWDs in developing entrepreneurial ideas, building key skills and accessing supportive ecosystems. The material is grounded in non-formal education and participatory approaches, encouraging reflection, peer learning and the meaningful involvement of YWDs in all stages of the learning process. The Curriculum is structured in four main parts.
