Objectives

Career Explorers was a youth project that aimed at equipping young people with essential skills for entrepreneurship and raising awareness about youth unemployment. Our primary objective was to showcase different possibilities connected with entrepreneurship and provide participants with tools to develop work plans, solve problems, work in groups, develop leadership skills and use creativity. We also aimed to foster cultural understanding and raise awareness of common democratic values by bringing together young people from different parts of Europe. Our project's main focus was on the importance of the Youthpass certificate, which is a tool for recognizing the gained knowledge and opportunities created by the European Union. We aimed to empower young people to take the first step towards their career path, to gain valuable experiences and a sense of direction for their future, and to help them learn how to create and develop a proper work plan. During the project, we implemented a variety of activities that allowed participants to learn from each other and gain practical skills. The team-building activity helped participants to build relationships with one another, which allowed them to work more effectively in the later stages of the project. We also discussed the causes of unemployment and youth unemployment rates in our countries and in the EU, which provided an opportunity for participants to gain a deeper understanding of the issue. The Lithuanian team facilitated the "My Career Plan" activity, which was a significant part of the project as it allowed participants to plan their future career path. The Hungarian team introduced the participants to the importance of problem-solving skills in entrepreneurship, which was an essential aspect of our project. The Spanish team tackled the topic of on entrepreneurship start-ups, which provided participants with insights into how to develop their ideas into tangible projects. The Serbian team focused on the risks and precautions involved in entrepreneurship, which helped participants to understand the importance of careful planning and risk assessment. The Polish team facilitated an session, which allowed participants to come up with creative and innovative ideas for their projects. In the final stages of the project, participants worked on the promotion and dissemination of their projects. This activity allowed them to showcase their work and share their knowledge with a wider audience. We believe the project had a significant impact on the participants as it provided them with practical skills, cultural understanding, and awareness of democratic values. The project also contributed to the development of a strong network of young people from different parts of Europe, which will continue to support them in their future endeavors.
