Result 1: The necessary foundation for the development of a successful SSC in Moldova, Georgia and Armenia was laid by empowering representatives of NGOs and youth centers as competent trainers, developing training materials and creating an online portal for SSC.

Result 2: An educational program on SSCs with potential for national and international expansion was implemented in schools across Ukraine, Moldova, Georgia and Armenia, resulting in the creation of at least 24 SSCs and 100 young people receiving short-term internships at social enterprises.

Output 3: Good practices from the local pilot programs are disseminated at the national level in all four countries through awareness raising activities and published materials, and through the integration of the SSC model into curricula and/or local school systems in Moldova, Georgia and Armenia (based on the successful Ukrainian experience).

Outcome 4: Permanent national and transnational networks and partnerships of SSCs and partnerships are established, and an annual award for the best SSCs in Ukraine is established.

Result 5: Youth affected by armed conflict (those who have faced the brutality of war and psychological and social trauma) have gained skills and knowledge to increase economic and social resilience in their countries through access to the project's online courses on social and green development, skills and psychological support.
