Objectives

The Youth Exchange for Young Entrepreneurs “Be the Change!” is a project developed by young people for young people, addressing the needs of the most unprivileged young people, including young Roma and youngsters from rural and remote areas. It will enable 40 young people and 8 leaders from Bulgaria, Belgium, Romania, Hungary, Czechia, Macedonia, Serbia, and Greece to learn about the concept of entrepreneurship, start-up, selling, promoting and sustaining a business, to ensure their own future and at the same time to help the community they live in by offering goods and services tailored to their needs. We envisage that the participants in this project will become powerful agents of change, taking control of their own lives first, and in the long term, support the development of their communities through entrepreneurship. The main objectives of this project are: - To advance the entrepreneurial mindset of 40 young people and 8 group leaders from the 8 partner countries. - To support 40 young people and 8 group leaders from the 8 partner countries in developing own business plans. - To improve the skills necessary to sell and promote a business of 40 young people and 8 group leaders from the 8 partner countries. - To train 40 young people and 8 group leaders from the 8 partner countries on managing a business; - To develop the creativity and innovative thinking of 40 young people and 8 group leaders in business through role play, trade simulations and discussions with entrepreneurs. The project objectives support the objectives of the Erasmus + Program the involvement of disadvantaged youth in international mobility, through the development of civic and entrepreneurial spirit among young people and the inclusion of disadvantaged young people in all phases of the project.
