๐ The Entrepreneurial Citizenship for Social Change (EPIC) project has officially concluded, leaving a lasting impact on the Western Balkans! ๐
Over the past years, young changemakers in Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, and Kosovo have transformed ideas into sustainable social ventures, thanks to this EU-supported initiative.
Hereโs what EPIC achieved:
โ Developed the EPIC Training Curriculum on social entrepreneurship with 6 core modules.
โ Created practical Toolkits for Youth Workers and Toolkits for Youth to guide aspiring social entrepreneurs.
โ Hosted a dynamic workshop & study visit in Athens, equipping 15 youth workers with skills to mentor their communities.
โ Conducted pilot workshops engaging 60 youth workers and 60 young people, testing and refining resources.
โ Organized 3 regional hackathons, incubating 24 innovative projectsโfrom AI-driven e-waste repair to circular economy solutions for food waste.
โ Shifted perceptions of social entrepreneurship from philanthropy to viable, sustainable business models.
โ Cultivated a culture of innovation, confidence, and technical competence in design thinking, budgeting, and pitching.
๐ And the best part? All EPIC resources are now open-access, so young people, trainers, and youth organizations can continue driving social change.

From 20 to 21 December, Sarajevo Meeting of Cultures, in cooperation with Homework Hub, organised the two-day SOCIAL DOO Hackathon dedicated to social entrepreneurship, bringing together more than 40 young participants, from high school students to university students.
๐ก A total of 12 ideas were developed across diverse fields, ranging from physical and mental health, ecological initiatives and IT solutions, to innovative models of community support.
Was it easy to connect a social mission with a sustainable business model?
โ No.
But with the support of mentors from SMOC and Homework Hub, young people once again proved that even small ideas can make a big difference ๐
๐ The winning idea came from the Faculty of Sport and Physical Education, โInner Peaceโ, a social enterprise that connects care for physical and mental health with a sustainable business model.
And this is not the end! ๐ In the coming year, we continue together with the final EPIC conference, where we will present the project results and the best ideas from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, and Kosovo.
Social entrepreneurship knows no borders, and this is just the beginning of our shared journey โจ

During the weekend, young people became part of a super energetic hackathon on social enterprise, where learning was combined with creativity and teamwork.๐ฅ
Together we went through 6 modules, through which they built their first ideas for social enterprises, worked in groups turning ideas into real concepts and then presented them to the jury.
๐ In the end, two winning groups were announced with the most feasible ideas and with great potential for development. We believe that these ideas are just the beginning and very soon we can see them as real social enterprises.
