JOINUS analyzed, benchmarked, and developed a platform for online youth events in the Practice Enterprise program. It created a digital model for 120,000 youth annually, facilitating virtual, practice-oriented transnational activities. As an alternative to live events, JOINUS enabled 5000 Practice Enterprises from 17 European countries to participate in online events, fostering a virtual international community. The project emphasized innovative methods, pedagogies, and content supporting ICT in education. Online events included fairs, competitions, challenges, and exchanges. JOINUS provided a digital experience for online job skills learning, integrating new approaches to mobility and trends in online job-based training. This prepared youth for hybrid in-person/online business environments, developing online learning and work skills. The project strengthened key competences for lifelong learning, including online communication, digital competencies, learning to learn, and initiative and entrepreneurship, aligning with the Top 10 Skills in 2025 by the World Economic Forum.
The Practice Enterprise bridged gaps between education and the business world, strengthening inclusivity and empowering youth to control their learning. It enhanced academic skills, reignited interest in education, and raised enthusiasm for lifelong learning. Online youth events connected peers across Europe, actively engaging youth, fostering motivation, initiative, creativity, and responsibility. The JOINUS project improved access to training and qualifications by providing a safe online event space for youth. Low-skilled participants acquired skills through a peer-sharing model, simulating work-based experiences without real-world consequences. This allowed repetitive practice without fear of mistakes, enhancing virtual mobility and learning new ways of working, including remote learning. The project developed a future-proof event model, maintaining pedagogical accessibility during crises. The demand for both in-person and online events remained high. JOINUS ensured inclusivity, enabling youth organizations from economically challenged regions to continue their internationalization strategy. The project aimed to build a future-proof online solution while enhancing digital skills acquisition for all participants.
