Follow Us Project

Initiative driven by 8 European entities to create a strategy against youth unemployment

The ultimate goal is to motivate, train and train young people who are neither studying nor working to develop professional skills as social media administrators and connect them with SMEs that require their services.

Follow us is a European project that aims at designing an inclusive program for social media to be the vehicle for job creation for NEETS, young people between 15 and 29 years of age who are neither studying nor working. It is about creating a strategy so that, using the existing digital tools and personal skills of these young people, they are motivated and reintegrated into the labour market by connecting them with SMEs across Europe.

The project, co-financed by the Erasmus+ funds, will be developed over a two-year period with the collaboration of partners from Germany, Poland and Romania. During this time period, three tools will be designed to offer young people real opportunities for training and employment through social media. The three tools that will be designed and tested before implementation at European level are:

  • Innovative and interactive course to motivate young people to develop their digital skills, with a certified training in the professional use of social media.
  • Course for social workers from entities dealing with vulnerable young people, so that they can help them develop their digital competencies.
  • Online platform that connects trained young people with SMEs who need community managers services, so that they can thus develop a stage of practices.
