Alternatives is a social enterprise established by young social entrepreneurs with the objective of identifying and empowering the role of the youth. The initiative aims to provide proper opportunities, skills and power to young people enabling them to contribute and take responsibility for the nation. The interactive website gives information on workshops, seminars, trainings and other activities initiated by Alternatives. Programs such as E-talks, within interactive forums make youth aware of entrepreneurial development and encourage them to discuss related issues with local and national level expertise. Alternatives envisions young people to be valued not only as recipients or targets for services but as active entrepreneurs with a meaningful role in the development of their communities and their nation. One of Alternative‘s main objectives is to initiate sustainable development by identifying preservation and mobilization of the local resources with the involvement of young people.
