Welcome to You-Cycle
The go-to place for circular economy inspiration.
Enabling young individuals with green skills to drive social enterprise growth and community impact.
What is You-Cycle?
We are a group of people passionate about youth work, social entrepreneurship and circular economy. Together we have created Young Changemakers for Circular Local Economy (YOU-CYCLE), a project that seeks to promote a circular economy as a means of empowerment for young people.
You-Cycle is a project financed by Erasmus+, through the Spanish National Agency INJUVE (Instituto de la Juventud de España).
