Motivated by the theme of the 2023 HLPF on “Accelerating the recovery from the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) and the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at all levels” the Antonio Meneghetti Scientific and Humanist Research Foundation F.A.M.(a Swiss no-profit organization in Special Consultative Status with Economic and Social Council of United Nations) organized a virtual Side Event during the 2023 Annual Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Youth Forum, on 25 April 2023 to promote capacity-building initiatives connected to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) achievements, among young people. The side event “Three Erasmus+ projects: ‘Now I know how!’, ‘I am able2DO’ and ‘EQUALS-EU: Gender Equality for Youth leadership globally’ to foster entrepreneurship competences and creativity in young people starting from scratch” was organized around the need to ensure that younger generations are aware of the benefits of the implementation of SDG’s through cooperation, and to sustain and accelerate action for delivering them.

To achieve this, the courses focused on how to foster young people’s knowledge and ability to enter the job market as protagonists to help the contest where they live, concentrating mainly on the entrepreneurial sphere (and Made in Italy case study), in order to ensure a new economic and entrepreneurial renewal generation, particularly attentive to social issues, to the ethical aspect of work, sustainability, inclusiveness and gender equality.

The courses involved participants from 20 different countries.
