The Capacity Building project mYouth 2.0 intends to expand beyond the achievements during the first edition that was implemented in 2016 (www.myouth.eu)  where 10 mobile apps developed during the project have been in competition for European Youth Summit Award (https://eu-youthaward.org/)  and World Youth Summit Award ( www.youthaward.org). The new version of the project mYouth 2.0 (Mobile, Young, Opportunity, Unity, Technology, Help) will involve more countries from African and Asian continent; will integrate new learning models in mobile app development; will increase youth capacities in new mobile technologies as well as will include more regional actions that will enable more young people to become aware how the mobile applications can solve local issues in their community and provide employment opportunities.

The second edition of myouth2.0 will be more focused on promotion of entrepreneurship education and will teach youth about potential of mobile apps to become small business and startups. The main idea of the project will be to initiate transnational youth initiatives where young people from three continents ( Europe, Asia and Africa) trough development of mobile apps will solve local and community problems and in the same time will create products that will be market oriented and business sustainable.
