The Training Course “Entrecomp 4 Youth Participation” was a project organised by FAJUB (Federação das Associações Juvenis de Braga). Its primary focus was on the active participation of young people in democratic life through the development of entrepreneurial competences. Participation is considered a fundamental right, echoing the guiding principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which had been reiterated in numerous other Conventions and Declarations. Through active participation, young people are empowered to play vital roles in their own development as well as in their communities. This involvement helps them acquire essential life skills, knowledge about human rights and citizenship, and the ability to promote positive civic action. To participate effectively, young people need the proper tools, including information, education about, and access to their civil rights. Significant barriers to the active participation of young people in democratic life include a lack of skills and adequate training in areas such as leadership, communication, social awareness, and psychological/social development. Additionally, there is insufficient training in committee-related roles and responsibilities, as well as budgetary issues (WOSM, 2004). EntreComp describes entrepreneurship as a lifelong competence and identifies the elements that made someone entrepreneurial. It aimed to establish a common reference for initiatives dealing with entrepreneurial learning. The concept of turning ideas into shared value is equally relevant to progressing one's career, supporting one's local sports team, or establishing a new social enterprise. Entrepreneurial value creation and entrepreneurial learning could occur in any sphere of life. EntreComp breaks down the boundaries between education, work, and civic engagement by focusing on the development of competences through the actual creation of entrepreneurial value. It was applicable in various learning contexts, including formal, non-formal, and informal settings, as well as education and training systems, civil society, communities, youth work, start-ups, and existing organisations such as corporations, non-governmental organisations, or public administrations. The project "Entrecomp 4 Youth Participation" aimed to: Provide youth workers, trainers, and facilitators with the necessary tools and instruments to train young people on entrepreneurial competences according to Entrecomp. Raise awareness of the importance of active participation. Create an activity toolkit linking the 15 Entrecomp competences to becoming an active citizen. During the project, participants were familiarised with EntreComp, which serves as a common reference framework identifying 15 competences in three key areas (ideas & opportunities, resources, and into action) that described what it meant to be entrepreneurial. EntreComp is a free, flexible reference framework that could be adapted to support the development and understanding of entrepreneurial competence in any setting. It has the potential to be used in various ways, including supporting policy and practice in developing entrepreneurial skills, assessing entrepreneurial skills, and supporting the training of educators, trainers, and teachers to deliver entrepreneurial skills. It could also be used to design programs and learning opportunities, recognize and certify skills, and promote collaboration and development work across sectors. All activities took place through a non-formal learning perspective, utilising participatory methodologies that enabled participants to learn in a practical and reflective manner. The project aimed to increase participants' awareness of the importance of entrepreneurial competences in the active and democratic participation of young people. Participants gained knowledge, skills, and instruments to work with their target groups to develop the 15 entrepreneurial competencies according to Entrecomp. They became promoters of the Entrecomp framework and its application to create a more participative society in which young people were agents of change.
