Gastropreneurs: Empowering Youth Entrepreneurship in Gastronomy
The European project Gastropreneurs has officially started, with the mission of training and empowering young people—especially NEETs—to become entrepreneurs in the field of gastronomy and sustainable food.
Funded by the Erasmus+ Programme, the initiative brings together partners from France, Italy, Spain, and Türkiye, who are working together to promote inclusion, digital innovation, and green entrepreneurship.Through training and mentoring, Gastropreneurs aims to revitalise rural areas and small towns, reduce youth migration to large cities, and create sustainable jobs linked to the richness of local gastronomy.
The project will develop:
- A European curriculum on gastronomic entrepreneurship.
- Innovative digital learning content and an e-learning platform.
- A handbook and reference strategies for youth workers.
- Success stories and a personal roadmap for young learners.
- A strong dissemination plan including newsletters, media campaigns, and multiplier conferences.
Gastropreneurs is more than a training project, it is a community committed to shaping the future of sustainable gastronomy through youth empowerment.
