Introduction<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Youth Entrepreneurship Policy Academy (YEPA)<\/strong> is a group of 150 people, including policymakers, youth entrepreneurship groups, social entrepreneurship networks, youth organisations, program managers, and researchers.<\/p>\n

YEPA’s goal is to improve policies and programs for young entrepreneurs<\/strong> by sharing information about the challenges they face and promoting discussions among policymakers, young entrepreneurs, and experts to figure out effective strategies for youth entrepreneurship policies.<\/p>\n

The aim of the project<\/strong><\/p>\n

The main goal is to spread awareness about the problems young people face in starting businesses. YEPA also helps policymakers, young entrepreneurs, and experts<\/strong> share ideas on what works in youth entrepreneurship policies.<\/p>\n

Sometimes, other important people like entrepreneurs, investors, and experts will join workshops to share their thoughts too.<\/p>\n

It will make more people understand why supporting young entrepreneurs<\/strong> is important by:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Informing policymakers<\/strong> about the challenges faced by talented young people in entrepreneurship.<\/li>\n
  2. Teaching policymakers<\/strong> about successful ways to create and implement policies, while avoiding mistakes.<\/li>\n
  3. Showing policymakers and youth entrepreneurship networks the benefits of social entrepreneurship for young people<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  4. Setting up a regular way for policymakers to talk<\/strong> with youth entrepreneurship networks<\/strong> and encourage the creation of more of these networks.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
