Empowering NEETs Through Medicinal and Aromatic Plant Entrepreneurship 🌿

The MAP4N (Medicinal and Aromatic Plants for NEETs) project is an Erasmus+ initiative that aims to address the challenges faced by NEETs (young people Not in Education, Employment, or Training) by introducing innovative solutions in the medicinal and aromatic plant (MAP) sector. The project focuses on equipping NEETs with entrepreneurial skills and promoting sustainable agriculture through modern methodologies and gamified learning tools.

2. Digital Game: An interactive game designed to make learning about MAP cultivation and entrepreneurship fun and engaging. This game  focuses on building key skills like decision-making, problem-solving, and teamwork.

Why Medicinal and Aromatic Plants?

Medicinal and aromatic plants are at the intersection of traditional knowledge and modern agricultural innovation. With increasing global demand, they offer NEETs a sustainable pathway for career development. The MAP4N project leverages this potential to create opportunities for young people to build careers that are both meaningful and environmentally sustainable.
