It offered a model of youth empowerment which is linked to entrepreneurship (3P Model) and can be utilized and used in many communities in Europe. The model was developed and tested by the Consortium of Partners from eight European countries and evaluated by the project’s target group – young people, youth workers, municipalities and local stakeholders. The result was a set of tools for implementation of the model, including the Guidebook of the 3P Model with lessons learned and the easy-to-use online sharing and learning platform which will sustain after termination of the project. Young people with fewer opportunities are the main target group of the project. It was expected that they learn how to think and act as entrepreneurs; plan, implement and sustain their projects and design them as community-oriented services. Through analyzing the needs and resources of their community and fostering partnerships with local stakeholders, young people were enabled to turn existing youth structures, such as youth clubs or centers, into sustainable Community Hubs, places for community dialogue, learning and service provision. A supportive training program was designed by the Consortium of Partners and enabled young people to strengthen their project management, communication and leadership skills, as well as increase their employability potential. The long-term goal of the project was that more youth initiatives were offered as services to the community, and youth centers and clubs became youth-led Community Hubs where young people take ownership of their ideas, actions and results. The project methodology was based on a set of collaborative tools and outputs (Community Maps, Community Visions, Sustainability Plans). The political dimension involved policy work with municipalities on sustaining Community Hubs. International meetings were crucial elements in the development of this model and this project. They included partners’ meetings to steer the process, the training of youth workers to deliver the training program, and an international youth exchange, both online and face-to-face.
