Description: PEPPY aims to promote activities that support young people to acquire sustainable coping skills and to engage them in a process that builds, strengthens and continuously develops their skills to meet the ongoing challenge of employment.

Main objectives:

• Encourage young people in their personal projects to develop their skills and knowledge.
• Transform young people into actors of their own change and use their skills acquired in formal contexts, but also in informal and non-formal educational contexts.
• Promote links and establish collaboration between all territorial actors in education and training.

The objectives will be achieved through the launch of a European digital platform of contacts and resources for support in setting up projects by young people, which will combine the dynamics of collaborative workshops and idea incubators and on which young people will be supported in their efforts by multidisciplinary teams of educational professionals and actors in everyday life and local development.
