Mobility of Youth Workers — ESC Quest
Quality, Understanding, Evaluation & Support in Youth Work
The ESC Quest – Quality, Understanding, Evaluation, Support, Trust project was a learning mobility initiative for youth workers, implemented within the framework of the Erasmus+ Programme, supporting the professional development and capacity building of youth workers across Europe.
The project took place from 01/01/2021 to 30/11/2022 in Belgrade, Serbia, and focused on strengthening the quality, impact and sustainability of youth work through transnational learning and collaboration.
Learning mobility projects of youth workers aim to support professionals working with young people by enabling them to acquire new skills, practical tools and international experience, while fostering cooperation, trust and shared understanding across countries.
Activities within such projects may include training courses, seminars, study visits, contact-making events and job-shadowing experiences, contributing to the continuous improvement of youth work practices at local, national and European level.

My Participation
It was a pleasure and an honour for me to participate in the ESC Quest learning mobility project as a youth worker and social entrepreneur, engaging in an international learning process focused on quality development, evaluation and trust-based approaches in youth work.
Through my participation, I actively engaged in training activities and peer exchange, contributing to discussions and shared practices that support the professional growth of youth workers and the creation of inclusive, supportive environments for young people.
This experience strengthened my understanding of how structured learning mobility can empower youth workers to respond more effectively to the evolving needs of young people, while reinforcing collaboration and mutual learning at a European level.
Project Focus & European Impact
The ESC Quest project contributed to the broader objectives of Erasmus+, which aims to:
-
Boost skills, employability and professional development
-
Support youth workers through high-quality learning experiences
-
Promote social inclusion, participation and well-being of young people
-
Strengthen youth work practices and youth policy at local, national and international level
By participating in this project, I deepened my engagement with European youth work values, reinforcing the importance of learning mobility as a tool for professional empowerment, quality assurance and long-term impact in the youth sector.
Social Entrepreneurship, Social Economy & Sustainable Ecosystems
EU Project
Beyond Crisis
Within the framework of the European project “Beyond Crisis”, I had the honor to contribute as a speaker and representative of Greece, presenting the national perspective on Social Entrepreneurship and the Social Economy, as a member of the Hellenic Association of Women Entrepreneurs (SEGE).
My role focused on the presentation of concrete proposals, practices and policy-oriented interventions that support the development of sustainable and socially driven business models in Greece, drawing from both my professional experience and my involvement in social entrepreneurship initiatives.
EU Project — Beyond Crisis
The Beyond Crisis project addresses a key European priority:
the improvement of the business environment and the strengthening of sustainable entrepreneurial models rooted in the social economy, with the aim of increasing systemic awareness, collaboration capacity and local resilience.
Through peer exchanges, workshops and transnational dialogue, the project supports local and regional ecosystems in exploring how social entrepreneurship can respond effectively to contemporary economic, social and environmental challenges.
During the project activities in Cartagena, the exchange of experiences between partners highlighted the importance of:
-
social innovation as a driver of sustainable growth
-
cooperation between institutions, entrepreneurs and local communities
-
business models that integrate economic viability with social impact
The Beyond Crisis initiative demonstrates how European cooperation can empower territories to move beyond crisis conditions by cultivating resilient, inclusive and value-driven entrepreneurial ecosystems, aligned with the principles of the social economy and long-term sustainability.
Social Economy, Sustainable Business Models & Local Resilience
EU Project
Beyond Crisis
The Beyond Crisis project is a European initiative addressing the priority of improving the business environment and supporting sustainable business models based on social economy.
The project aims to increase systemic awareness and competencies in local territories such as Reggio Emilia (Italy), Cartagena (Spain) and Kassandra (Greece) in order to respond effectively to crises and emerging challenges through innovative partnerships involving social economy actors, public administration, SMEs, businesses and research centres.
A key objective of the project is the development of local action plans for social economy, created with the support of organisations in the partner regions and informed by comparative analysis from international workshops. These plans include strategic frameworks for cooperatives, firms, economic stakeholders and third sector organisations to enhance socioeconomic impact, sustainability and resilience.
The second phase of the project involved a series of five international online and in-person workshops, where partners exchanged experiences, explored best practices and reviewed findings from local analyses in order to strengthen strategic approaches to social economy ecosystems.
Local stakeholder events, including presentations of regional social economy analyses and workshop findings, facilitated peer learning and joint recommendations, reinforcing the role of social economy as an effective tool for sustainable development.
