Plataforma HABITAT participates in the European project SUCCSEEDS to support young migrant women through Community Gardens

Plataforma HABITAT is part of the European project SUCCSEEDS, an initiative co-funded by the Erasmus+ program that seeks support the social inclusion of vulnerable young migrant women by fostering entrepreneurship and active citizenship through Community Gardens, promoting their environmental awareness and personal, social and learning-to-learn skills.

What are the project’s objectives?

The SUCCSEEDS project proposes a new approach to social entrepreneurship and active citizenship through:

• Setting up a formalised set of competencies required to support social inclusion and active citizenship by fostering entrepreneurship through Community Gardens based on EU standards and procedures.
• Provide youth workers and community educators with a freely accessible digital instructional tool to be upskilled in the project topic.
• Provide youth workers and community educators with a collection of in-depth exercises and techniques aimed to support young migrant women.
• Pilot and assess novel techniques to instruct youth workers and community educators in supporting social inclusion and active citizenship by fostering entrepreneurship through Community Gardens.
• Assure a wide impact, sustainability and mainstreaming of the project results during the project lifecycle and beyond.

What results will the project generate?

During its two-year duration, SUCCSEEDS will develop:

1. Training Curriculum on social inclusion and active citizenship by fostering entrepreneurship through Community Gardens
2. Digital Platform and online Learning Programme for youth workers and community educators
3. Hands-on exercises to be used by youth workers and community educators when working with young migrant women
4. Testing and evaluation trials in piloting countries
5. Environmental awareness raising, beneficiaries´ increased motivation, and development of LifeComp and entrepreneurship Skills.

At Plataforma HABITAT we believe that Community gardens can serve as valuable spaces for promoting the social inclusion of vulnerable young migrant women. Therefore, we are proud to participate in this project that opens new learning paths and opportunities for them, as well as for Youth workers and Community educators in Europe.
