French challenges in supporting social entrepreneurship In France, the economic situation is pretty bad regarding the rates of unemployment, especially that of the young people. The government implement a lot of policies and trainings to support young people to access job writing good curriculum vitae and succeeding in job applications and interviews. Nevertheless, the on-the-ground-reality is that there is a real lack of jobs, at least there are not enough jobs for each young people and master degree students who want to work as an employee. In the same time, young people birth and grow up in a global ecologic and economic world crisis with involve a very large range of social issues and unfortunately, until now, the politics couldn’t solve all the social inequalities and environmental disorders. As a cooperative, our first challenge in supporting social entrepreneurship is to get the opportunity to address social issues to young people. We work hard to aware them about the opportunity to face the social issues creating their own project and job. We aware them that with a good knowledge of their territory, a good observation and analysis of it (strength, weakness, opportunities and threats) they could be able to create innovative projects with social impacts that make sense, by their own, being supported by the cooperative and all our entrepreneurs.
