This project focuses on trying to bring added value to the entrepreneurship education and youth work for entrepreneurship. We would like to stress that Entrepreneurial Learning (EL) in youth work is more than seeing entrepreneurship as a practice and learning about business plans. It is rather a mind-set or approach leading to a behavioural transformation towards personal and professional development. The proposal will enhance the existing youth work training models and curricula for entrepreneurship with the elements of EL for the new era entrepreneurship. The project is designed to create a quality - innovative training model for entrepreneurship youth work, covering the existing need for modernisation of EL through youth work, as well as the needed learning tools to support a quality youth work. Project aims to develop strategic tools and motivate/empower youth workers for enriching youth work activities with quality entrepreneurial education and learning, in order to address change in young mind-sets to inspire a new set of values inclined towards risk taking, venture creation and self-development for new era entrepreneurship. We expect around 2000 participants of the project: 8 staff / project managers and assistants; 10-12 teachers/trainers/researchers, youth workers and technicians all working on the intellectual outputs; 86 participants of the multiplier events; 15 youth trainers - participants of the LTTA; 2000 youngsters involved in the e-learning platform. Project activities: A1 – Project Management M1 – Kick-off meeting O1 – Guidebook O2 – Curriculum (Training toolkit) O3 – E-learning course E1, E2, E3 – Open conferences C1 – LTTA E4 – Open conference M2 – Final project meeting Results envisioned: - Over 40 multipliers (youth workers, volunteers and management staff – 10 from each partner organisation) will be using our intellectual outputs / the youth work materials in their work and testing their effectiveness locally both personal and on organisational level - Over 80 local multipliers trained in all 4 countries about the importance of youth work in promoting quality Entrepreneurial Learning in accordance with the new era entrepreneurship - Around 2000 (young) people visiting the e-learning platform (during and after the completion of the project), using it, testing it and giving feedback about it to the organisers. - 15 youth trainers/workers, participants at the LTTA, will be directly empowered for developing quality Entrepreneurial Learning youth work programmes. They will further (during and after the project completion) organise small multiplication trainings in their sending organisations, with each having at least 5-10 additional youth workers/trainers/volunteers participating. This will result in around 40-45 youth work providers / youth trainers empowered and encouraged to use the developed intellectual outputs in their entrepreneurship youth work. The impact envisaged is empowered and encouraged youth trainers and youth workers willing to work on the implementing the innovative entrepreneurial learning in NFE / youth work activities. The potential longer-term benefit is increase of youngsters becoming entrepreneurs and self-employed individuals thanks to the quality implementation of youth work entrepreneurial learning activities for new era entrepreneurship and up-to-date relevant employability skills of youngsters in communities.
