An innovative approach to project activities allowed for a combination of psychological factors and social, as well as hard skills. The project has involved three organizations. Boston College from the UK mid-largest college of general education located in downtown Boston in Lincolnshire. College plays an important role in the life of the city and makes a significant contribution to the local economy. It offers more than 400 courses, has more than 6,000 students over the age of 14 years and employs more than 450 employees. College works in close cooperation with local companies as advisory body on new solutions. The project partner from Germany was the Institute for Work and Technology (IАТ) –research organization, created in the late 80's with about 50 employed individuals (scientists, project managers and financial staff, students-assistants). IAT is a part of the University of Westphalia (university of applied sciences). The university offers mainly studies in mathematics and science and technology, as well as courses in economics, law and journalism. IAT works are targeted for a specific purpose - promoting prosperity and quality of life. Project leader and representative is the Polish city Radomsko - local public institution managed by the Mayor and City Council. The Office supervises the functioning of the city through the implementation of local laws and concern for the needs of its residents. Radomsko is a city aimed toward modernity, which emphasizes its slogan 'Open city from 1266'. Radomsko City Hall is open to strengthen the capacity of the city's development through the expansion of knowledge and skills.

It describes the activities undertaken within the project (laboratories, international project meetings, conferences), and presents the conclusions drawn from observations and experiences related to the project. Also suggests how to improve the concept of entrepreneurship in Europe, as well as increase the number of people who decide to run their own business. During the project, there were three international project meetings with each of the partners. They allowed the exchange of experiences, information flow and joint development of principles guide.
