The project responds through its activities to the Europe 2020 strategy which is the EU's agenda for growth and jobs for the current decade. Europe 2020 strategy It emphasize smart, sustainable and inclusive growth as a way to overcome the structural weaknesses in Europe's economy, improve its competitiveness and productivity and underpin a sustainable social market economy. The main targets are Employment, Research and development (R&D), Climate change and energy, Education and Poverty and social exclusion. According to the EU Youth Strategy one essential method of integrating young people into the labour market is to increase youth entrepreneurship. Youth entrepreneurship is an important factor for employment creation, increasing innovation and addressing social inequalities. Beyond fiscal considerations and the availability of financial resources, one obstacle is the lack of entrepreneurial education at the primary and secondary level. One of the project objectives is to prepare the youth workers as mentors for social youth entrepreneurs taking into consideration the trends from the Entrepreneurship 2020 Action Plan in 3 areas for immediate intervention: entrepreneurial education and training to support growth and business creation; removing existing administrative barriers and supporting entrepreneurs in crucial phases of the business life cycle and reigniting the culture of entrepreneurship in Europe and nurturing the new generation of entrepreneurs. These align to Erasmus+ priority: to fight high levels of unemployment among young people. The European NGOs involved can guide youngsters to develop the skills and competencies to access the labour market and available funding resources. According to the need analysis made in each partner organisation and community with focus groups, we have identified that there is a need on developing the youth workers competencies and the capacity to deliver high-quality entrepreneurship learning to socially disadvantaged young people. By empowering youth workers and equip them with the proper tools, they can transfer the know-how and guide the young people to have an open attitude regarding the entrepreneurship ecosystem and as a possible option for their future career. We’ve chosen as main activity a TC taking into account the multiplying dimension of youth work (youth workers can reach more young people on long term comparing to young people as participants) and also for the sustainability of the project. We have designed the project to develop a network of European youth workers specialized in social entrepreneurship, expand their know-how in this topic and guide them to develop their competencies, while mapping the local social entrepreneurship ecosystem through 1 training course in Romania and 12 multiplying activities, by April 2020. Specific objectives O1:To develop the competencies of 24 youth workers and know-how on social entrepreneurship education through : A 8 day TC, 6 interviews of local youth social startups, 6 local workshops for European youth workers (100 participants) and 6 workshops for young people with fewer opportunities (120 participants), 1 digital toolkit with NFE curriculum on entrepreneurship education O2: To raise awareness regarding the resources the youth workers and young people have in their local communities by creating before and during the TC 6 digital and printed maps in 6 languages with entrepreneurship hot spots from each country: NGOs, Universities, private projects where the youth workers and young people can develop their knowledge in social entrepreneurship and identify new learning and development opportunities to be promoted in multiplying workshops O3: To create with 24 youth workers and 5 partners 1 digital workbook with the profile of Social Youth Entrepreneur and available resources from 6 countries to inform 120 young people through 6 local workshops what is the process they have to do to launch their social start-ups. Before the youth workers become educators of youth, the partner NGOs decided to provide customized training opportunities, exposing them to best practices and quality methodology. As a result, the entire organization benefits from the training experience of youth workers and can become an environment for networking and international collaboration. Another important aspect is that the best way to learn about youth in their terms is from youth workers who have access to youth in everyday life, with all the social and economical struggles they are encountering.
