The main objective of the SEED project was to develop and strengthen cooperation between partner organisations in promoting the development of competences and interest of VET teachers and students in the field of entrepreneurship with social impact. The stated objective of improving the quality of entrepreneurship education was closely linked to the selected priorities of the ERASMUS+ programme: Adaptation of VET to the needs of the labour market The educational process needs to enable students to be prepared to face the constant changes and challenges in the labour/business market. By implementing the project, we have supported the collaboration of actors in the entrepreneurship education ecosystem and directly deepen the entrepreneurial competences and the capacity for inclusive collaboration of the participating educators and students so that they are better prepared for the real world after the school gates close. Increasing the attractiveness of VET The long-term trend is a decline in the interest of young people and their parents in VET. By implementing the project, we will contribute to change the trajectory and increase the motivation of VET students through "learning by doing"and delivering simple recommendations.
In the SEED project, we focused on addressing the need of young people - to be prepared for life in the 21st century. This is because the current education system does not provide effective support to ensure that VET secondary school students are able to navigate an ever-changing environment full of challenges, especially after leaving school. However, the set system in which students are educated has the power to influence their decisions after leaving school to a significant extent, both in desirable and unfavorable directions in terms of the use of their own potential and contribution to society. For this reason, we have sought closer cooperation between key actors in the project, as one of the symbolic seeds that will contribute to the necessary changes in secondary education on the themes of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurship development. These changes will in turn positively influence the future path of VET graduates. Entrepreneurship competence itself, according to the European EntreComp framework, is the acquired skill to learn to notice the problems around you and see them as opportunities, then to find the strength and resources within yourself or in your environment to solve them, and finally to "go into action".
