Objectives

By implementation of the „My firm, my soul" project we wanted to develop abilities and skills of young people in the area of their own entrepreneurship, extend their knowledge of labour market and offer them new opportunities for their self-realisation. The project aimed at fulfilling the participants with abilities and skills which are required at the labour market and which are essential in competitive environment. This project also supported cooperation and mutual enrichment in the area of non-formal education and allowed the participating organizations to inform about gained results and outputs from the project and share them with wider public and thus increase the impact of youth projects and their sustainability as well as ensure the European contribution or the Erasmus+ programme. Through this project we wanted to solve the issue of increasing competences related to entrepreneurship and labour market, above all development of entrepreneurial skills and language and communication competences. The project focused on the needs of participants to gain and develop their competences to be able to succeed at the entry to the labour market both in their own town and on the European labour market. The aim of the "My firm, my soul" project was to improve the level of key competences and skills of young people and support their involvement into the labour market, support their active citizenship, intercultural dialogue and tolerance. The project aimed at developing particularly the following competences: entrepreneuship, communication, language, social and creative, at developing ability to cooperate with partners on the same topic (entrepreneurship, fictive firms), share their experience regarding entrepreneurship, unemployment and problems of the labour market in the partner countries. These competences were developed through non-formal activities: games, workshops, discussions, presentations, role-play activities, intercultural, evaluation, dissemination activities etc. The participants of the project were dealing with possibilities of their own entrepreneurship and exchanged information about the real situation of unemployment in the partner countries, they were developing their ideas regarding their own firms, making a business plan, SWOT analysis, they were searching for advantages and disadvantages of their own entrepreneurship, working on promotion and commercials and were comparing advantages and disadvantages of entrepreneurship from a position of an employer or an employee, they were developing their competences regarding labour market (creating a good CV, being successful at a job interview etc.). One of the important aims of the project was to allow involvement of young people coming from disadvantageous beackground, no matter if culturally, geographically or socially. Furthermore, the project aimed at fulfilling the needs of young people from the partner counries so that they were better prepared to enter the labour market, develop their ideas for opening their own firm, be able to find new opportunities at the labour market, develop their ideas for creating promotion and commercials of their own firm, develop their ability to write a good CV and consider a CV of possible applicants in their firm, develop their ability to communicate.
