Euromediterranean Youth Meeting 2015[/caption] The Meeting is organized by the Catalan Youth Department, Autonomous Government of Catalonia. Albert Cañigueral (Innovation strategist, founder of ConsumoColaborativo.com), Anke Streu (Creator of educational programs) and the team from OuiShare Barcelona assist the Catalan Youth Department in creating the upcoming event.
The meeting aims to facilitate an encounter for young people from various countries within the Euro-Mediterranean region to share common interests on youth needs and difficulties.
This year the Youth Meeting will offer an innovative training implemented by experts on the four sectors of the collaborative economy: collaborative consumption, open knowledge, P2P production and P2P financing and crowdfunding.
After an introduction to these four sectors, participants will take part in workshops, and discussions and will visit reference points in Barcelona for a thorough understanding and a hands-on approach to the topic. Legal, funding and entrepreneurial aspects play an important role as well as how to build and manage a community and how collaborative tools can be used for social entrepreneurship projects.
