The goal of the SIA programme is the affirmation of social entrepreneurship and social innovation as an opportunity for young people, with adequate support, to change the society in which they live. The programme is designed in several phases – starting with the discovery phase during which young people are encouraged to participate in the program, through the incubation phase during which, with mentoring and education, they prepare their innovative ideas for implementation, through competitions and presentations at the international SIA event.
The programme in Montenegro is implemented by the NGO “Center for Youth Education”, which for years has been implementing programs and projects related to strengthening the capacities of young people, their informal education, developing a culture of active participation of young people in various spheres of social life, providing mechanisms for fostering activism, and developing youth work as support in the process of independence, improvement of interdepartmental cooperation.
