REBUILD Conference

April 18, 2023

It’s with great excitement that we announce our REBUILD event (REBUILDing Society Through Youth Engagement) with plenty of interactive sessions scheduled for the 3rd, 4th and 5th of May.

We are thrilled to bring together a diverse group of young experts, innovators, and leaders in the heart of Brussels, for engaging talks, workshops, and networking opportunities centered around various topics, such as civic engagement of underrepresented youth, social solidarity and green lifestyle. This event is designed to inspire and empower (even more) its attendees and (to continue) to make a positive impact in their communities and the world, promoting all these topics at a local and EU level after the Covid- 19 crisis. Our participants will be sharing their insights and experiences on the topics mentioned above, exchanging project ideas and discussing their experiences from the implementation of their initiatives including the strengths they identified and the challenges they faced.

By investing in local and EU youth initiatives, we can create a ripple effect. Local youth initiatives can directly impact and improve the community in which they operate. Furthermore, on the EU level, youth initiatives can help to create a more sustainable future. Engaging the youth in the fight against climate change and promoting green lifestyles can create lasting change at the national and international levels. The youth are the generations that will inherit our planet, and involving them in decision-making on issues that affect them is essential.

Why Out of the Box International

The seemingly ever-lasting depression of European economies has shaken the very foundations of many European societies. The shear rate of unemployment in Europe and the omnipresent environmental crisis coupled with the often frustratingly slow process of decision making in the EU, are calling for civil society actors to step in and fill the void.

In the aftermath of the 2008. economic crisis, the apprehension of falling under the spell of apathy of economic depression across the continent has not been easy to shake off. However, pinpointing the culprits for the current state of affairs on any particular EU decision maker is not the answer. Nonetheless, the fact remains that the current approach to the economic and environmental crisis hasn’t yet shown the affected citizens the light at the end of the tunnel.

As representatives of the civil society we feel the need to make our voice heard in the midst of the current debate on economic crisis. Being a social enterprise we offer new and feasible ideas in education and community work, creative cross-sectorial cooperation among different actors and strong networking coalitions to turn these dire economic challenges into possibilities through social entrepreneurship initiatives which aim at benefiting wide range of citizens, particularly vulnerable groups and those affected by the economic crisis.

Social entrepreneurship is a simple concept that has been put into practice by civil society actors for the benefit of a specific social group or people, and this is precisely what we want: to create projects and initiatives with fresh ideas in different policies, educational programs or tools, support businesses, empower cultural initiatives and offer different solutions to individuals, corporate bodies, everybody who believe that we can have more Creative, Innovative and Cohesive Europe.
