Nestwork Coworking proudly hosted a key event for the Erasmus+ COWORKING4YOUTH project, fostering entrepreneurship in small-town communities.
At Nestwork Coworking, we believe in the power of coworking to transform small-town communities by unlocking the potential of young entrepreneurs. Recently, we had the honor of hosting a significant event as part of the COWORKING4YOUTH project, an initiative under the Erasmus+ program that connects youth from Poland, Turkey, and Bulgaria. This project is designed to inspire young people by enhancing their entrepreneurial skills and introducing new, innovative business models tailored specifically for small towns.
Coworking Spaces as Catalysts for Growth in Small Towns
Coworking spaces like Nestwork are playing a pivotal role in driving business development, especially in small towns. These spaces foster collaboration among creative minds, freelancers, and business owners, offering opportunities for networking, knowledge sharing, and personal growth. By providing access to essential resources, coworking spaces can significantly contribute to the local economy, boosting innovation and creating new job opportunities.
Bansko: The Ideal Hub for Coworking and Innovation
Bansko, where Nestwork is located, has quickly emerged as a prime location for coworking and entrepreneurial development. With its picturesque landscapes, affordable living, and fast-growing digital nomad community, Bansko offers the perfect combination of tranquility and dynamism, attracting both local talent and international professionals. The town’s high-quality internet infrastructure and low cost of living make it an ideal spot for entrepreneurs and remote workers looking for a space to grow their businesses.
At Nestwork Coworking, we strive to support this burgeoning community by offering a collaborative and inspiring environment where ideas flourish and connections are made. We believe Bansko has the potential to become a leading hub for coworking in small towns, and we are committed to nurturing that growth.
Nestwork as a Key Host and Supporter of COWORKING4YOUTH
During the COWORKING4YOUTH event, held at Nestwork, we facilitated discussions and workshops aimed at empowering young people with the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today’s fast-paced business world. We shared valuable insights on how coworking spaces can be leveraged to overcome the economic challenges faced by small-town communities, including high unemployment, brain drain, and lack of innovation.
As hosts, we also provided mentorship and guidance to the participants, helping them explore the many opportunities coworking spaces offer. Through this project, young people gained hands-on experience in setting up and managing coworking spaces, turning vacant or underutilized areas into thriving business hubs.
Objectives and Achievements of the COWORKING4YOUTH Project
The primary objective of the COWORKING4YOUTH project is to promote employment, entrepreneurship, and social inclusion among young people (ages 18-25) in small towns across the EU. By equipping youth with the skills to transform empty spaces into collaborative work environments, the project aims to create sustainable business models that can thrive in small-town settings.
The training program included three essential modules:
- Module 1: Managing Coworking Spaces in Small Towns
- Module 2: Career Skills for the Future
- Module 3: Entrepreneurship Skills
These modules were specifically designed to address the challenges faced by small-town communities, such as high unemployment and a lack of economic diversity. By equipping participants with critical skills in coworking management, career development, and entrepreneurship, the COWORKING4YOUTH project helped lay the foundation for future economic growth and prosperity.

At Nestwork Coworking, we are dedicated to continuing our support for young entrepreneurs and small-town communities. We believe that coworking spaces are essential for fostering innovation, retaining talent, and creating economic opportunities in regions that have traditionally been overlooked.
