Objectives

Social entrepreneurship - a type of business organisations that also focuses on profit for the local community. We want to enable youth workers to improve their skills in supporting young people in turning their ideas into reality. Youth workers will build their skills in three ways: theoretical aspects of social entrepreneurship, practical aspects of social entrepreneurship and its adequate implementation in youth work. Youth work in social entrepreneurship has immense importance both in popularisation of socially and ecologically responsible ideas and in their practical implementation, especially among young people from vulnerable groups and/young people with geographic, social and economic obstacles. Therefore, youth workers in this TC will get additional training on how to teach and implement socially innovative and responsible ideas into businesses. This is a mobility of youth workers because this way Brodoto can pass on their experience and skills to people who too are or aim to be social entrepreneurs and who work with young future entrepreneurs. Very important goal that we will achieve through this mobility of youth workers is the exchange of ideas and experiences between every partner organisation. This will also be an exchange of ideas and cultural differences. We will aim to give as much of opportunities to partners to present themselves, their nations, cultures and practices. Social entrepreneurship, CSR, successful case studies in local communities, community needs, SWOT analyses, marketing strategies, management, pitching, exchange of local examples and experiences etc. are some of the focuses of this mobility of youth workers. Another important emphasis will be put on how to popularise social entrepreneurship start-ups in less developed areas and how to successfully orient young persons towards it through the methodology, Brodoto expertise and exchange of youth workers' experience throughout this project. Objectives: 1) Improving the level of youth workers' knowledge and practical skills about social entrepreneurship as a relatively new type of business with best practice examples, business workshops, marketing workshops and case studies. 2) Improving the level of youth workers' skills and competences in teaching activities about social entrepreneurship and business - through their participation on this TC, they will get a thorough view on what is a social enterprise based on trainers' personal experience (NGO and Ltd.) and project partners experience. They will learn how to mentor young people on what is a social enterprise, which methods of teaching to use and how to implement appropriate workshops. 3) Improving the capacities of partnering organisations through participation on SIP, especially through exchange of experiences and pre-activity researches among project partners on social enterprises and practices in local communities. Partners are involved in social entrepreneurship and educational activities so they will be able to use the newly gained knowledge both in their educational activities as well as in practical ones. This exchange of practices will also be one of the biggest benefits for the hosting organisation since we are more and more engaged in social impact/entrepreneurship sphere.
