The Raise Youth project covers over 500 people between the ages of 18 and 29, living in the municipalities of Pernik, Breznik, Trun, Radomir, Zemen and Kovachevtsi, who are neither working nor currently studying. Within its framework, they undergo various trainings in career and personal development, and the most active 20 participants - including Milen - will be provided with additional training and mentoring to start their own business.
The Regional Youth Center in Breznik was established as part of Raise Youth and acts as a first point of contact for anyone interested in getting involved.
The project is implemented by the Center for Sustainable Communities Development with the financial support of Norway, Liechtenstein and Iceland.
