ABOUT THE PROJECT

The Follow-us project is an Erasmus+ project funded by the European Union in collaboration with eight project partners. The project was started in November 2021 and will be implemented within a project duration of 30 months.

THE PROBLEM

Nowadays, the NEETs rate in the EU is persistently high (17,1%, Eurostat 2020) and the pandemic situation has worsened their chances to find a suitable education, training or employment. On the other hand, EU Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) are not effectively using Social Media Platforms due to many obstacles identified in many EU studies, being the most relevant the lack of knowledge on digital tools and, a tight financial capacity (EC, 2020).
