Social Innovators is a programme aimed at developing skills for young people in social innovation fields, enhancing their employability, and encouraging impactful projects within local communities.

The aim of the practice is to change the status of young people from NEETs (not in employment, education or training) to SEEDs (searching for education, employment and development).

The practice develops and implements an innovative and sustainable training model in green social entrepreneurship for NEETs (young people not in employment, education, or training) and other young people. Based on a 'learning by doing' approach, the trainings take place in eco-hubs – a natural environment for experiential learning. Partner organisations increase their capacity to deliver effective programmes specifically designed for NEETs, supporting the development of entrepreneurial, practical, personal, and social skills of participants. 

During this initiative, 100 young people were trained, mainly NEETs, in newly established eco-hubs of four educational eco-communities in Bulgaria, promoting their initiatives and interaction with local communities and authorities. Through practical activities, non-formal and informal training methods, the participants developed essential personal competences, practical skills, and social engagement, e.g., increased self-confidence, teamwork, competences in sustainable practices, improved mental and physical health. 

The project empowers NGOs, public, and private institutions implementing Youth Employment and Entrepreneurship Support Actions (YEEAs) to enhance their capacity for effective impact evaluation.
