The project Ideas Hub 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 emphasise 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 was 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 were able to know how to 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 had identified that there is a need to develop the youth workers competencies and the capacity to deliver high-quality entrepreneurship learning to socially disadvantaged young people. With this training we were able to empower youth workers and equip them with the proper tools and they could 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 the main activity a TC taking into account the multiplying dimension of youth work (youth workers can reach more young people in the long term compared to young people as participants) and also for the sustainability of the project. We had designed the project to develop a network of European youth workers specialised in social entrepreneurship, expand their know-how in this topic and we guided them to develop their competencies, while mapping the local social entrepreneurship ecosystem through 1 training course in Greece and 8 multiplying activities, by December 2022. Specific objectives: O1:We developed the competencies of 32 youth workers and know-how on social entrepreneurship education through : A 8 day TC, 3 visits of entrepreneurs, 6 fresh youth start up ideas, and 8 workshops for 80 to 160 young people with or without fewer opportunities, 1 digital toolkit with NFE curriculum on entrepreneurship education. O2: We raised awareness among young people regarding start-up opportunities and experiences of young entrepreneurs by creating startup ideas within smaller groups of the participants and promoting them in the local workshops they implemented. O3: We created with 32 youth workers and 8 partners 8 digital and printed maps with entrepreneurship hot spots from each country: NGOs, Universities, private projects where the youth workers and young people can develop their knowledge in entrepreneurship, crowdfunding platforms, competitions. Before the youth workers became educators of youth, the partner NGOs decided to provide customised training opportunities, exposing them to best practices and quality methodology. As a result, the entire organisation benefited from the training experience of youth workers and got included in an environment for networking and international collaboration. Another important aspect was 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.
