Inside the HorizonCraft training activities in Lebanon, young people are building new skills, sharing expectations and preparing for the next steps of their mobility journey.
In Lebanon the activities implemented by the Chamber of Commerce, Industry and Agriculture of Beirut and Mount Lebanon and MIDAL Organization are now giving shape to one of the central ideas of HorizonCraft: helping young people prepare for professional and international experiences not only through information, but through practice, participation and direct involvement.
The training days brought together 45 selected Lebanese students and graduates, preparing them for the next phase of their HorizonCraft pathway. For many of them, this is not simply a course, but a first structured opportunity to reflect on their skills, their future and the kind of professional environment they would like to enter. The sessions are also taking place in a challenging context, especially for participants coming from South Lebanon, but the atmosphere emerging from the activities is one of determination, motivation and strong commitment.
The program addresses several key areas connected to employability and workplace readiness. Participants are working on digital skills, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship and job-market preparation, while also developing the confidence needed to approach future mobility and internship opportunities. The training is therefore not limited to technical knowledge: it is also a space where young people learn how to present themselves, collaborate with others, understand professional expectations and turn their personal motivation into a more concrete path.
At the heart of HorizonCraft is a mobility pathway connecting Beirut, Alexandria and Cagliari. In this perspective, the Lebanese training activities are part of a wider process that will lead to host company onboarding, the use of the Matching Platform and the preparation of three-month pilot internships. Each activity is designed to bring young people closer to real professional contexts and to strengthen the connection between youth, companies and local communities.
A special thanks goes to the expert trainers Bilal Zahalan, Viviane Nakhlé and Sanaa Hajj, Ph.D., for guiding and inspiring the participants during this phase of the program.
