Regional Development Agency, Rimavska Sobota, Slovakia
Empowering and supporting students and young unemployed Roma people
The Regional Development Agency in Rimavska Sobota was set up in 1994 to help the economic and social development of the area. From its links with the Neumann Youth Enterprise Centre (NIVAK) in Eger, Hungary, the RDA learned about the EDW team’s YBN.1 project and concluded that the comprehensive enterprise model we offer, in terms of training, business counselling and provision of incubators, would be an appropriate model for Rimavska Sobota.
Within the YBN.2 project, led by the EDW team and funded by the European Commission’s Leonardo Da Vinci Lifelong Learning Programme, the RDA set up youth enterprise services from scratch, including training and counselling services and incubation.
