Odyssea is a non-profit, dedicated to supporting vulnerable groups (e.g., NEETs, people at risk, with disabilities, refugees, migrants, etc.) in gaining access to education and employment through vocational training, life-skills programmes, and employability services. Our specialised, hands-on and fast-paced training focuses on more technical fields (i.e., electrical work, plumbing, IT networking, HVAC), as well as culinary and hospitality, with both simulation and real-world environments at employment providers, integrating STEAM education principles and aligning with the New European Bauhaus vision.
Additionally, Odyssea’s Makerspace fosters entrepreneurship and innovation, enabling individuals and start-ups to develop products and business models that drive social and economic integration. With an established an international network of 300+ businesses, we participate in EU-funded programmes, such as Horizon Europe, Creative Europe, and Erasmus+ (KA2, Capacity Building in VET, Forward Looking, Alliances for Innovation) among others.
