<p>AYCH provided long-term support to participants in order to: raise their awareness of entrepreneurship, help them to develop their projects, support some of them up to the creation of an activity and direct others towards training, internships or jobs.The aim in the Atlantic Youth Creative Hubs project is to do more than fill the gap in what is missing in mandatory education. AYCH allows us to break free from a restrictive education model and give opportunities to young people that haven’t previously had the circumstances to explore their true interests or discover those that are unknown to them. Young people often find themselves tethered into a way of learning which belongs to a previous age. AYCH aims to change that. The global challenges that we face will have the greatest impact on our young people and the generations that follow: the climate emergency, growing inequalities, access to clean water, population growth, habitat and species loss, etc. We should listen to, encourage, enable and equip young people to find short and long-term solutions to the volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world in which we live and the global challenges that we cannot ignore. And at the same time enable young people to live independent, fulfilling lives.</p>
