In June 2019 this applicant organisation had a project "First you LEARN, then you remove the "L" where all participants had the chance to talk with business people, visit business incubator, craftsman house, youth house and in the end - do few "Do it yourself" projects, like, making leather earrings, painting etc. Almost all participants did it with the biggest excitment. As they said "we want to learn more about how to develop business, where to start from, how to make a step from hobby to business and we want to create things with our own hands. But where to find all information?". And that's how this project idea was developed. We want to use the resources around us 1. forest and wood, rocks - something that nature gives us. 2.Second hand shops where to buy cheap materials to create second hand bags (from old t-shirts), earrings from leather jackets, etc. 3. Use WISELY the one resource we all have access to - internet! Pinterest, youtube, facebook and other webpages. We all have all resources, but sometimes young people can't connect the dots and use them wisely. Let's bring together young people who want to learn new skills and turn them into a small business. Our idea is to use the resources we have (like second hand shops for cheap materials, surrounding nature), knowledge of each other, we will also learn how to use social media for our project (finding ideas on Pinterest, youtube, facebook etc. and after that SHARING ideas one these platforms). And we will learn what happens when you have the right people (supportive, fun, great, and amazing) next to you, resources, place and knowldedge all at the same time. Magic happens! MAIN AIM - develop social media literacy, business development skills, cooperation skills, critical thinking, leadership, and generate new ideas, show what Erasmus+ are about. One of the aims of this project is to show different ways how to spend your free time.We want to encourage young people to do do something in their free time with the possibility to earn some money. During the project we talked about business, working for someone else, having a private company, being self-employed etc. We wanted to show youngsters that it is possible to start your own thing and as silly it might sound, be happy while doing the things you actually like. How many people go to work without a smile on their face, without motivation, without that feeling you are doing something great? We also aimed to: get intercultural experience by meeting with the people from different countries, cultures, backgrounds, religions, practice tolerance and break stereotypes & prejudices; build meaningful relations and and have future co-operations on the basis of this project under Erasmus+ (for example, this project was designed during one of youth exchanges) increase employability and participation of youth, develop professional skills and increase their efficiency; improve the quality of local (by visiting local youth house and meeting with local youngsters) and international youth work (by creating a strong network of organisations, who will generate new ideas for future projects); encourage to share needs of their community - before coming to this Youth exhange, participants will be asked to research situation in their home cities and villages and try to see which business niche they could develop); make the work interactive, fun, and valuable. Like adults, youth are more likely to get involved and remain active in projects that are interesting and fulfilling, but most importantly youngsters like to be involved in decision making, generating ideas and implementing them. For this project the main idea is for youngsters to come up with their own workshops (with the help of leaders before YE) and lead them. So that they can gain confidence and they have the ability to do it in future. We will have Advances planning visit (APV) and after aprox.1,5 months a youth exchange (YE) in the countryside near city Liepāja. Why YE? To learn how to learn, how to be a leader, how to stand up for opinion, to learn to share thoughts and ideas, to become more as an European citizen, to discover yourself, your limits, to learn how to cooperate and what good cooperation can benefit in life. Why outside the city? We decided to spend more time in nature. We want to see how we can use the surrounding enviorment for our benefit and what happens when we are not stressed about beeing in the city that never sleeps. We want sessions next to the beach on how to calm you mind and learn new breathing techniques (study shows that knowing how to breathe also help us to control our emotions (anger included) and fears and keep a clear and sharp mind) meet locals in the small village of Bernāti and see how people live there, learn from them. In the small village of Bernāti we have lots of small entrepreneurs. Youngsters will have the chance to learn how they can provide themselves with food and basic knowledge in business management.
