Launch of the YSBE Net Digital Hub for Young Social Entrepreneurs

The YSBE Net Digital Hub was officially launched in September, creating a transnational online space where young people, educators, and aspiring social entrepreneurs from Romania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, North Macedonia, Albania, and Montenegro can access learning opportunities, resources, mentoring, and networking activities focused on social entrepreneurship.

Developed within the European-funded YSBE Net project, the Digital Hub aims to strengthen social entrepreneurship education and support young people in developing the skills, knowledge, and mindset needed to create positive social impact in their communities.

The platform provides free access to a comprehensive Social Entrepreneurship Digital Toolkit, delivered through an interactive online learning environment. Students receive individual access credentials and can progress through self-paced modules that combine practical knowledge, reflection exercises, and engaging learning activities. Upon successful completion of the course, participants receive a certificate recognizing their achievement and newly acquired competencies.

Beyond online learning, the Digital Hub serves as a gateway to a wider European community of young innovators. Participants can access information about international webinars, project activities, and opportunities to connect with experts and mentors through the YSBE Net partner network. Teachers, youth workers, and students are encouraged to engage with project partners and explore opportunities for guidance, support, and further learning.

The Digital Hub is coordinated by JA Bulgaria with the contribution of JA Romania, JA Cyprus, JA North Macedonia, JA Albania, and JA Montenegro, bringing together expertise from across the region to support the next generation of social entrepreneurs.

The YSBE Net Digital Hub is now operational and available free of charge to schools, educators, youth workers, and young people interested in social entrepreneurship. By providing accessible digital learning, mentoring opportunities, and connections to a growing international network, the platform represents an important milestone in empowering young people to develop innovative solutions to real social challenges.
