In details, 40 young people and 8 leaders from Bulgaria, Albania, Belgium, Czechia, Hungary, North Macedonia, Romania, and Serbia will become acquainted with the concept of entrepreneurship, developing a business idea, starting up a business, and share their own experiences and knowledge on what works best for setting up the business and becoming an entrepreneur in Roma communities or marginalized (geographically or because of discrimination) areas. The youth exchange will take place in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria. Besides being the sit of Centre Amalipe, Veliko Tarnovo is a region that has proven itself as a cultural and spiritual capital of Bulgaria, where people from different ethnic minorities live in peace and respect with each other and where a number of Roma and Turkish entrepreneurs can serve as successful role models for young entrepreneurs. Another reason to select Veliko Tarnovo is the Local Roma Community Development Centre built by Centre Amalipe which will help in organizing a community visit to meet participants with the local Roma community and get to know the issues local Roma have from the first face.

Alumni also have the opportunity to apply for a CEP exchange with a practicum host or CEE Specialist that will enable them to travel to their home country to further scale their CEP. • Continuing Global and Local Networking: CEE is a network of emerging civil society leaders that will continue to grow through Innovation Hubs that engage knowledge sharing and collaboration with a variety of stakeholders.
