5. Once upon a time…
Project 668 was founded in April 2012 and
had its launch event in June 2012 where
speakers of other organizations in Brussels
were present too.

6. Our purpose
Youth unemployment is omnipresent in the EU.
Everyone knows at least one unemployed young
person or is one himself.
Young people suffer and are desperately looking
for a job, a purpose.
We believe that Project 668 is a way of fighting
youth unemployment, our way.
EU Trainees have a specific profile and Project
668 is a platform that offers them tools and
advice on how to find a job – and purpose.

community on social
media channels…

10. I just wanted you to know that ESN offered me the
job and I accepted it.
Thanks to Project 668 for posting the opportunity!
Remarkable and friendly services, thanks to Project
668 we have now a skilled and motivated young
professional! And that was no easy task as we were
looking for specific language skills.
Project 668 helped me to find a job
advertisement for which I was called for
an interview and finally hired.
I think this type of network can ease job market
deficiencies by sharing information and
minimising the costs to access it.
I think it is important for the network to be as
horizontal as possible.
