About Urban Civic Lab

“Urban Civic Education Lab” is a 24 month strategic partnership youth involving 3 NGOs from Austria, Italy and Germany. The partners are experienced in working with young people aimed to promote social entrepreneurship of NEETs in order to foster transition to autonomy and employability/entrepreneurial engagement.

The assumptions of this project idea are based on the fact that nowadays, the diversity of cities take on a new dimension due to globalization; political, economic and social restructuring. Globalization and the increasing interdependency of cities in a network society have led to the accelerated circulation of people, commodities, capital, identities, and images through globalspace; as well as to the increasing mobility of ideologies, economic principles, policies, and lifestyles. It is recognized then, the need to implement actions to improve the level at which civic and citizenship education is taught.

The Urban Civic Education LAB project will design comprehensive educational approaches aiming to develop social entrepreneurship capacities in youngsters living in the urban areas while enhancing the social clout of youngsters as providers of added social value to their communities.

The methodology that will be used will be a combination of non-formal education, civic education, social and entrepreneurship education. These will be utilized instruments to enhance components of a comprehensive and progressive approach to entrepreneurial empowerment, projected on the social issues and civic ethics of urban areas.
