Summary
The E-4PROSPERITY project is motivated by the fact that it aims to overcome these inequalities of young people who struggle with unemployment and whose opportunities are limited due to their socio-economic status.

In addition, the E-4PROSPERITY project, which aims to draw a professional and sustainable roadmap for young people on the way to becoming e-sportsmen, will contribute to economic growth in Europe with the employment of young people.
